Trusted by employers, providers and sector partners:

The Association of Apprentices provides a fantastic opportunity for apprentices across all industries to interact and collaborate and drive their agenda for development. At Lloyds Banking Group we promote the benefits to all our apprentices of being part of a growing network to share their experiences and learning. It helps drive a commitment to lifelong learning that goes way beyond the end of a formal apprenticeship programme.

At Professional Assessment, we are always looking at ways to improve our EPAO offer, and partnering with the Association of Apprentices means apprentices have access to even more resources and the opportunity to grow their networks, so this partnership is a WIN: WIN for everyone.

At Bud, it is our passion to support the delivery of consistent high-quality training to high volumes of learners, thereby increasing accessibility to learning for all. That's why we're proud to announce that we are now Founding Partners of the Association of Apprentices.
