Well you’ve come to the right place. Here at Access Industry, we offer apprenticeships in a range of subjects within Music & Events, Digital and Marketing.
Apprenticeships offer a different kind of educational experience to traditional BTECs and A Levels, allowing you to ‘learn while you earn’.

As part of our Student Support service, we support apprentices with learning difficulties, disabilities and medical conditions.
You can tell us about support needs during Onboarding. Please tell us as much as you can so we can fully understand your needs.
If you can bring any supporting documents, such as an Educational Health Care Plan, Educational Psychologist report or medical diagnosis letters with you to your interview, that would be really helpful.
We will endeavour to provide appropriate support for you, with needs assessed on an individual basis.
The type of support we can offer may include:

An apprenticeship is a paid job which allows you to develop the skills, technical knowledge and experience to help you develop your career.
You will develop your technical knowledge through formal ‘off the job’ training and gain practical skills and experience whilst working. Apprenticeships have been designed by employers and include the knowledge, skills, behaviours and formal qualifications needed for each specific job role and sector.
To be eligible, applicants must be aged 16 or over, living in England and not taking part in full-time education. If they are already employed, they can start an apprenticeship in their current job to help them progress to a higher level position.
Apprenticeships range from Level 2 to Level 7. The levels and their equivalent qualifications are listed below:
Level 2 = 4 GCSEs
Level 3 = 3 A Levels
Level 4 & 5 = Foundation degree and HNC/D
Level 6 = Bachelor’s Degree
Level 7 = Master’s Degree
Access Industry currently offers apprenticeships up to Level 4, but we continually update available apprenticeships to meet learner needs and industry trends.
The role of an Industry Practitioner (IP) is to create an Individual Training Plan (ITP) to suit your specific training needs. They will agree and plan training sessions and prepare you (and your employer) for your End Point Assessment. They will guide, support and encourage you throughout your apprenticeship training programme.
The ‘Apprenticeship Standard’ and assessment plan developed by employers will set out the knowledge, skills and behaviours required, as well as an outline of the methods that will be used for the End Point Assessment. Examples of different assessment methods are shown below.
Depending on the standard, the assessment methods will vary. Here are examples of some of the types of assessment that may be used at your End point assessment;
Whilst you are on your apprenticeship, your IP will use all of the above as well as your submitted tasks and journals to assess your progress and provide you with feedback and a ‘working at’ grade.
At the end of your apprenticeship, you will go through a ‘gateway’ process where your employer and IP confirm that you are ready for the final assessment of your knowledge and practical capabilities. The End Point Assessment will test that you are competent to work effectively and productively in your chosen occupation.
The End Point Assessment is graded. The Independent End Point Assessment Organisations (EPAO) and assessor must be independent of, and separate from, the training provided by the College and your employer.
Yes, but don’t worry. All apprenticeships include Maths and English Functional Skills which provide further development in these work related skills. You’ll have an initial assessment of your English and Maths skills during your induction, and you will have to complete online external tests in both subjects.
If you have already achieved qualifications in Maths and English to a high enough standard, you will be exempt from completing Functional Skills qualifications as part of your apprenticeship. If this is the case, your IP will continue to work with you to develop your use of Maths and English in the workplace, so that you can use these skills at a higher level.

We have been very happy to work with Access Industry for many years and have always received excellent service. Together we have supported over 30 apprentices through the CVT apprenticeship and on to successful roles within the creative industries sector. This is a testament to the quality of training and guidance Access Industry provides. In particular Tracey Cooper is outstanding going above and beyond to ensure the apprentices have both pastoral and educational support.

Having just completed the Level 3 CLPO Apprenticeship, I would highly recommend the course to anyone considering their educational steps towards working in the galleries & museums sector. The training modules aligned effectively with projects happening at the gallery. I found the online training sessions highly informative and concise. The tutors (Natalie & Jamie) created a welcoming atmosphere and encouraged conversation so that students could learn from the experiences of their peers. Additionally, the knowledge I gained during the sessions enabled me to contribute new ideas and ways of working to my team at the gallery. My IP, Jamie, ...

I have known Tom from Access for many years, so once I knew we were looking for an apprentice I knew who to call. Tom expressed that Access could help us find the right person Access provided us with a strong pool of candidates who were genuinely motivated and ready to learn. We were particularly impressed by how well the team matched us with individuals whose skills and interests aligned with our business needs. Within a short time, we found a fantastic apprentice “James” who has already become a valuable part of the team. Kayleigh and Tom made everything ...

We have worked with Access Industry for the past 12 months. Tom and the team are professional, responsive and proactive and always have the company and the apprentice's best interests at heart. I would recommend Access Industry to any businesses looking to employ an apprentice.

Access industry go above and beyond what is expected as an apprenticeship provider. I have especially known Tom for many years, and his advice and guidance for the learners is second to none.

This apprenticeship has been a blessing for me as I was already interested in the Live Events industry previously. My skills have been improved greatly with the informational online lessons I partake in and my confidence has skyrocketed, allowing me to come out of my shell and feel comfortable in the line of work I am currently placed in. The online deliveries are to the point and have an emphasis on joining in and sharing answers and experiences. This element gives the lessons a warm inviting feeling. The lessons I have been in haven't been overcrowded and gives quite ...

I recently made contact with Kayleigh at Access Industry regarding apprenticeships, we are a very small company, but we were very impressed by the amount of information Kayleigh gave us in enquiring about apprentices and our next steps in us employing an apprentice. Thank you for your time.

My IP Tracey gave me consistent support and encouragement, and gave me the guidance that I needed when I felt unsure. She has been a kind and listening ear in all of our meetings. Jamie delivered interesting and engaging online tutorials, relevant to the CLPO standard - both provided helpful and constructive feedback. Tom was on hand as part of the pastoral care team to offer his support, which was much appreciated, and Rose was able to give me advice when I had any queries. Thank you access team for a fantastic placement - wishing you all the best! ...

I’m absolutely loving my Level 3 Business Apprenticeship with Access Industry, employed by SGI! From day one, Kayleigh has been absolutely amazing—always looking after me and providing fantastic support whenever I need it. Her guidance has made the whole journey so smooth and enjoyable. I’m really enjoying every aspect of this apprenticeship and the variety of experiences I’m gaining along the way. It’s been a brilliant opportunity to learn and grow, and I couldn’t ask for better support or a more rewarding program. Highly recommend to anyone looking to kickstart their career in business!

As I am getting closer to the end point assessment of my Level 4 Sports Coaching apprenticeship, Claire Colligan has answered every call, text and email whenever I have needed her. The follow up meetings every six weeks is very helpful. With Claire's knowledge and experience working in higher education, she has been able to provide me with even more knowledge about the course, especially leading up to my end point assessment. Not only does she care about my learning, but she also cares for my mental and physical wellbeing as sometimes life can get in the way of ...
