Why you should choose an apprenticeship with us
The AMRC Training Centre is unique and gives great opportunities to young people. Here are just a few of our advantages…
Apprentices earn approximately £200 a week, but many employers offer more than this.
Apprenticeships ensure that you get hands-on experience and help you to really hit the ground running with your career.
We only offer nationally recognised qualifications that are acknowledged and respected by employers across the world.
Your employer pays for you to gain your qualification so you won’t be weighed down by student debt.
Our dedicated team will support you throughout your apprenticeship journey, from finding a job through to visiting you in company, all backed by the University of Sheffield and the AMRC.
We offer a clear progression route, from an Advanced Apprenticeship (Level 3) through to Degree (Level 6). This means we can help you at all stages of your career, and whether you come to us from school or college, or are looking to take the next steps within your company, we have a course to suit your needs.
Our enhanced apprenticeships are designed to offer employers the ability to tailor the apprenticeship experience through additional modular training options.
"By taking the apprenticeship route, I gained practical experience and academic knowledge at the same time. This means that I have almost seven years’ experience as well as the qualifications earned at the AMRC Training Centre, which puts me in a better position to other graduates who go through the traditional route of going to university."
