Abingdon and Witney College

Abingdon & Witney College - Apprenticeship Training

We are officially Oxfordshire’s most successful college and have been graded “good” with “outstanding” apprenticeships by Ofsted (March 2017).We are ambitious for our students, working with them to achieve excellence. But that excellence is not a one-size-fits-all solution. We offer a broad range of courses and celebrate the success of students at all levels across the college. With such a wide range of options, there is something that is right for everyone.

Apprentices will study a number of individual qualifications as part of their Apprenticeship. These include:

A competence based qualification such as an NVQ
A knowledge based qualification such as a BTEC or City & Guilds certificate
Literacy and Numeracy
Employee Rights and Responsibilities
Personal Learning and Thinking Skills

When the Apprentice successfully achieves all these components they are awarded the Apprenticeship framework relevant to their chosen area of employment. Apprenticeships are mostly delivered in the workplace. Some qualifications involve classroom delivery and this can take place at College or on employer premises. The College offers a range of day release, block release and 1:1 tuition options to suit the needs of employers and Apprentices alike.
