If higher education isn't for you, an apprenticeship is a great place to start your career journey. Not only will you start learning – and earning – straight away, but you'll be paid at least the minimum wage and get the holidays you need to enjoy a good work-life balance.
We offer apprenticeships in a range of disciplines...
Our apprenticeships in the automotive and engineering industries usually last between one and four years. Throughout your learning, you'll attend GTG Training, learning practical skills and building your knowledge, while completing assessments in your workplace.
We also offer on-the-job apprenticeships, which are entirely work-based and include careers in the logistics and business services sectors; these last between 12 – 15 months. You'll learn in your own work environment and GTG assessors will visit you at work to assess your progress.
By the end of your apprenticeship, you can expect to have gained the skills you need to succeed in your chosen field and be ready to take up further training. We recruit all year round, so why not have a look at our current vacancies?

If you’re successful, you'll be invited to attend a session with GTG Training. This will include basic numeracy, basic literacy and (if you're applying for a Technician Apprenticeship) a mechanical aptitude test.
After that, we'll send your application to employers closest to your local area. You'll be asked to attend an interview with the employer before being accepted.
