Employer Voice

 

“I have worked with Varsity Training on the pilot apprenticeship in the BNSSG ICB and the quality of their apprenticeship provision is first rate. They have an expertise in the world of educating others to be inspiring teachers, mentors and we felt using Varsity was the logical step in developing an Educator Level 5 apprenticeship for the NHS and social care organisations."
