Arena Training Centre is a supporting provider on the government register of Apprentice Training Providers, working in partnership with JTL and The Sheffield College. For a number of years now, we have provided support with delivery of technical training and portfolios in the provision of Apprenticeships in the Yorkshire region and nationally.
Our team of lecturers and assessors stand out in the education world, balancing a commitment to lecturing whilst at the same time remaining ‘on the tools’ running their own successful electrical contracting businesses as members of CPS schemes such as NICEIC & NAPIT. This means apprentices are taught by experienced lecturers with current experience of design, installation and inspection & testing.
Apprentices training on our premises experience a high standard of technical training and enjoy the support from teams of dedicated staff working across both the primary and supporting provider assisting them in all aspects of their education.
