Core offering

Training Trust delivers government-funded apprenticeship programmes and vocational training across construction trades (brickwork, carpentry, building services engineering, electrical installation), childcare/early years, teaching assistance, and business administration. Programmes blend on-the-job employer-based learning (4 days per week) with college-based technical training (1 day per week or block release), supplemented by short professional development courses for practising electricians (18th Edition, 2391 Inspection & Testing). It also provides a full apprentice recruitment and selection service for employers across North East London and surrounding counties.

Product overview

Training Trust provides apprenticeships and vocational training programmes delivered through a network of centres in Woodford Green, Dagenham, and Stratford. The core offering consists of apprenticeship programmes across construction trades (brickwork, carpentry, building services engineering, electrical installation) and care/education sectors (childcare, teaching assistant), supplemented by additional professional development courses for electricians. Training is delivered through a combination of on-the-job employer-based learning and off-the-job college-based technical training, with apprenticeships ranging from 15 months to 4 years depending on level and programme. The organisation also provides business administration and has announced expansion into accounts/finance apprenticeships from 2026.
