What We Do
If you're looking to start out on your career, whether you have experience or not, Haddon Training offers a solution. An apprenticeship offers practical work experience, knowledge, skills and behaviours for your chosen job role; skills that are recognised by industry employers all over the country. Throughout the apprenticeship you’ll be supported, coached and mentored by one of our experienced Trainer Coaches. They’ll meet with you and your employer early on to agree an Individual Learning Plan (ILP). If you don’t have experience yet it may be better to start on a traineeship – just contact one of our team today to discuss the best solution for you. Contact us
Training
Haddon Training offers work-based training, where you will earn as you learn. In England, apprenticeship completion is measured through an End Point Assessment where you will demonstrate the knowledge, skills and behaviors you have learnt. In Wales, you will be assessed based on completing units and by gathering a portfolio of work during your time on the apprenticeship.
