New Career
Path With An Apprenticeship
Apprenticeships offer an exciting opportunity to learn, earn, and gain real-world experience. At Quest, we guide learners through tailored programmes that build skills, confidence, and a strong foundation to start a career you can grow into.
Learn, Earn, & Grow As An Apprentice
Apprenticeships are a smart way to start or develop your career. You’ll earn a wage, gain hands-on skills, and achieve a nationally recognised Apprenticeship Certificate, all while gaining experience on the job.
No longer limited to traditional trades, apprenticeships now span industries from Childcare and Education to Business and beyond. At Quest, we deliver high-quality programmes designed to help every learner who chooses us as their learning partner to succeed and thrive.
Getting Started with Your Learning Journey
We’re here to guide our learners every step of the way, helping them make informed decisions and take confident steps toward their career goals. Most learners reach out with one of three questions that starts their journey with us:
To start an Apprenticeship, you need to be employed in a role that matches your chosen programme, live in the UK (or have residency in the UK/EU for the past three years), and have a development or training need in your sector.
Apprenticeship applications are made through your employer. Share the Quest website with your manager, or speak to our team to discuss funding and next steps. We also advertise apprenticeship opportunities we can offer with our partner employers here on our website too.
If you don’t meet the criteria for an Apprenticeship, Quest offers vocational qualifications through private training. Our courses are practical, flexible, and tailored to help you gain skills and knowledge relevant to your chosen career to prepare you for success in your sector.
