WORK-READY TALENT, AWARD-
WINNING SUPPORT At Blackburn College, we don’t just train apprentices – we shape future business leaders. As Lancashire’s Training Provider/Programme of the Year for Apprenticeships, our structured, supportive programmes ensure apprentices succeed and businesses thrive.
From day one, apprentices are clear on their goals, supported by industry-trained assessors who provide personalised guidance to help them build essential skills and excel in their roles.
Our tailored approach recognises that no two apprentices, or businesses, are the same.

The result is skilled, confident employees ready to add value from day one, and ultimately, 100 per cent End Point Assessment achievement.
