Crawley College Apprenticeships

Crawley College, part of the Chichester College Group, has the highest achievement rate for apprenticeships in Sussex (National Achievement Rates Tables in 2017/18).

Why choose an apprenticeship?

  • You can earn while you learn – as an apprentice you earn a salary and get to work alongside experienced staff who will help you to develop job-specific skills.
  • You gain practical and relevant work experience – every apprenticeship program is tailored to specific job roles which means you know you will be receiving relevant training. You will also spend time ‘off-the-job’ which is undertaken outside of the normal working environment.
  • You will boost your career prospects – you will develop key skills that employers within that industry really want. It will also help you enhance your longer term career prospects and earning potential.
  • You will achieve sought-after qualifications – you will not only gain practical skills and experience, but in most cases a nationally recognised qualification.
