A Snapshot of Your Day

There are no specific requirements for entry onto the Quality Practitioner apprenticeship, it is a level 4 programme so ideally good GCSE results would be preferred, but we would also welcome delegates with A levels or even Degrees. (English and Maths are good but we can support the apprentice if they do not have them). It is a practical course and we’re looking for delegates who have a positive attitude and a desire to learn new skills.

There are no mandated qualifications in this apprenticeship, apprentices come out with a Level 4 Quality Practitioner certificate and the option to become a Practitioner with the Chartered Quality Institute.
