Next Level Apprenticeship Training

Meet the newest member of the Next Level Training team! ✨

We're delighted to welcome Jess Matthews, our new Learner Engagement & Enrolment Officer.

Jess joins us with a background in teaching and will be the friendly face supporting learners as they explore their next steps. Whether you're interested in one of our full-time programmes, apprenticeships, or want to find out more about starting a career in business, customer service or marketing, Jess is here to help.

When she's not at work, you'll usually find her making the most of the outdoors either walking the dog, dreaming of her next surfing adventure, or enjoying a sunny day by the sea.

We're really pleased to have you on board, Jess!

We are here tomorrow! Hope you see you there!

Calling all parents – this could be helpful!

If you're in receipt of benefits and your son or daughter is thinking about an apprenticeship, there's some positive news.

The Government has announced a new bursary to help eligible families who may have previously lost benefits when their child started an apprenticeship. This could mean families receive up to £4,500 a year in additional support.

Apprenticeships are a fantastic way for young people to earn while they learn, gain recognised qualifications and kick-start their careers.

Please note: This announcement is very new, and we haven't yet received any further guidance or details on eligibility or how it will work in practice. We'll keep you updated as soon as more information is released.

Next Level Training is turning 10!

This July, we’re celebrating 10 incredible years of supporting learners, employers and businesses through apprenticeships and training.

To mark the occasion, we’re planning a special evening to celebrate with everyone who has been a part of our journey.

🗓️ Save the date - TBC (more details to follow)

Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or join us along the way we’d love for you to celebrate this milestone with us.

Here’s to the last 10 years and the future ahead!! 🥂

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at our open day today 👏

It was fantastic to meet so many people interested in apprenticeships and alternative training. We had some great conversations and hope you enjoyed it too!

Whether you’re leaving school, looking to start your career, or exploring your next step, apprenticeships offer a great way to gain qualifications while earning and building real workplace experience.

Missed this one? Don’t worry we will be back before September but feel free to call us on 01179221440 - We’d love to see you there!

Huge thank you to Penny from Our Wiltshire for her fantastic feedback about our 16-19 full-time programme in Chippenham.

We're proud to work alongside Wiltshire Council to support young people who are not currently in education, employment or training (NEET), helping them build confidence, develop essential customer service skills, and continue progressing in English and maths in a supportive, work-based environment.

With our next programme starting this September, we're looking forward to welcoming prospective learners to our Open Day on Friday 24th July. It's a great opportunity to tour our facilities, meet the tutors and find out how the programme can help.

If you know a young person who's unsure about their next step, we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch to find out more.
