Optional practical training is available for many of our courses and is held at various locations throughout the U.K. The goal of our practical training is to provide you with on-the-job practical experience so you can apply the theory-based knowledge you’ve gained from your course to ‘real life’ working situations and environments. Optional practical training offers you the necessary hands-on experience to obtain additional qualifications.
If you have any queries or doubts, don’t hesitate to contact our friendly course advisors who will be happy to provide you with sound, impartial and professional advice, with no strings attached.
