Work based learning providers: Regional Directory
Some of these providers cater for a broad range of Apprenticeships, while some are much more specialised. It's up to you to call them up to find out if they can help you. If you don't have any luck, then it's always worth checking with your local Connexions centre (www.connexions-direct.com) or visiting the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) website apprenticeships.org.uk. They'll be able to put you in touch with the right people.
