What is the Association of Apprentices?
The Association of Apprentices (AoA) is a national, not-for-profit membership organisation that supports every apprentice. We help apprentices have a high-quality experience, fulfil their potential, and progress to successful completion. We work with employers and providers to offer their apprentices enhanced experiences through community, peer-to-peer networking, learning and support.

Our research
The Association of Apprentices has employed multiple research methods to discover what apprentices, training providers, and employers require from us. We have spoken with apprentices, held events with employers of all sizes, and tapped into industry-experts’ knowledge from our Founding Partners and Advisory Panel (consisting of employers, training providers, and awarding bodies). Our Apprentice Council actively structures our path, to ensure we are always heading in the right direction.
Giving apprentices the best start in their career benefits the individual, the organisation, and the training provider. Find out more about how AoA helps training providers provide comprehensive support to their learners.

Membership prices for
training providers
As a social enterprise, we are committed to ensuring that all apprentices have the opportunity to access their Association. For this reason, membership for individual apprentices is currently free. In addition to this offer, organisations with 249 or fewer employees can check if they are eligible for free membership below.
Why should my organisation pay for our apprentices to join the Association?
Although membership for individual apprentices is currently free, this offer is limited and AoA will be introducing membership fees in the future. Organisations can ensure their apprentices continue to access our services by purchasing corporate membership in advance – and will receive additional corporate benefits too.
