Apprenticeships

ATTI promotes apprenticeships for both our teaching and non-teaching colleagues to provide high quality, role specific training. We work mainly work with LMP Education as a provider, but also support our colleagues and school leaders to identify alternative apprenticeships which address training needs for individuals and our academies. We aim to use the apprenticeship levy funding to offer quality learning across all directorates and in all roles where apprenticeships are appropriate.

Read on to see the apprenticeships we currently promote. If you think we’re missing something that could help you succeed in your role, get in touch and let us know!
