The blend of classroom learning and on-the-job training ensures that the apprentices are knowledgeable and capable of applying their skills in real-world scenarios. This has significantly benefited our firm, as the apprentices quickly become valuable team members who contribute to various projects and tasks with confidence and competence. Moreover, the college's support has been exceptional.

We highly recommend Kendal College's apprenticeship programs to any employer looking to invest in the future of their workforce. The quality of training and the dedication of the staff at the college are truly commendable.

The staff bring an incredible depth of knowledge from their backgrounds in the motor trade. Their hands-on experience and passion for the industry shine through, and the college's recent Mini project has become a talking point among our apprentices. The college staff ensures that students not only learn the theory but also acquire the practical skills that we value.

They go the extra mile to support their students. Many of our apprentices come straight from school, and starting something like this can feel like a significant step. But the college creates such a supportive and professional environment – you can genuinely see the confidence growing in the learners as they settle in and find their feet.

If you're looking for a course that truly guides you into the motor trade, with tutors who genuinely care and know the industry inside out, then this is the place to be.

Susan Turner, Westmorland Family

I’m very impressed with our journey so far with Kendal College. I feel like I have a clear understanding of how our apprentices are performing at any given point in time, and I am regularly updated on their progress. I also know that if we had an issue, I have a point of contact whom I’d be happy to discuss it with. The staff have been brilliant from the outset, so enthusiastic, which is excellent for our apprentices, and for me!

The meetings we have are timely and useful, and we both come away from them feeling very positive. They also help us stay focused, as we always have to offer up something we’d like to have covered by our next meeting, and we ensure that we incorporate this into the apprentice's day-to-day role.

I’ve been down the apprenticeship route before, when I worked in other businesses, but I haven't had the same level of relationship that we've had with Kendal College. Our apprentices are excelling both in the workplace and in their studies, and I am confident that the college has played a valuable role in this. Thank you!
