Herefordshire Primary Care Trust has a contract with the Learning and Skills Council to provide Apprenticeships and has been involved in both using and delivering Apprenticeships for 10 years. In Autumn 2008 the Trust’s Training Centre had around 90 starts.
The Training Centre initially used Business Administration and Customer Service frameworks and then expanded to include more specialist frameworks including Health and Social Care; Children’s Care; Learning and Development; Pharmacy; and Dental Nursing.
The Training Centre provides work‑based and other training for employees of the Trust and other organisations operating mainly in the Health and Social Care sectors, such as in‑patient Hospital Acute Care, Nursing Homes, Residential Care Homes and Childcare, as well as local Business Settings.
