General Information

Apprenticeships are strongly supported by the government for future workforce development.

KEITS is one of the country's premier private training providers specialising in Apprenticeships and Diploma provision throughout the land based industries and also delivers Management, Customer Service & Business Administration awards to all sectors.

We work nationally with a wide variety of businesses in the Horse Care, Animal Care, Floristry and Horticultural industries. We also deliver Management, Customer Service and Business Administration awards into other sectors. The businesses that we work with range from small concerns with one or two employees to large, national, multi-centre organisations.

Apprenticeship frameworks include the Diploma, Functional Skills and a Technical Certificate. Through these awards, people gain experience in their chosen career and improve their communication, application of number and information technology skills relevant to their working environment. The qualifications are awarded by City and Guilds & Chartered Management Institute and are approved by the rural industries' lead body LANTRA, and the Management Standards Centre.

Apprenticeships and Diplomas are designed to test practical competence in a real work situation and successful completion provides employers with staff who are specifically trained for a selected occupational area with a good level of hands-on experience.

KEITS has offered full and dedicated support to over 5,500 learners and 2,000 employers since 1997. KEITS' assessment team are vocationally qualified, competent and work to a very high standard to help people gain nationally recognised qualifications and achieve success without time off work to attend a training centre. A personal assessor visits learners in the work place regularly depending on the learner’s individual needs. During these visits the assessor samples the practical skills of the learner, sets work to be completed and assists in building a portfolio of evidence that reflects achievement.

All learners are employed and our enthusiasm to help people achieve their personal goals in work based settings enables KEITS to make a real difference to the businesses with which we work. Come and join us!
