Learn from within a culture of success

We are proud to have a longstanding partnership with professional Rugby League club Wigan Warriors, most successful club in the history of Rugby League.

This gives you unique access and insights into the world of professional sport, which we have successfully integrated into our apprenticeship training programmes.

All employers know the value of a culture of success and the importance of marginal gains. And whether in professional sport or not, your next employer needs to develop future leaders of their organisation. Start that journey now.

track your own progress easily and efficiently

Competence: keeping you on track wherever you are

You can progress at your own pace and from any device by using our app (available on any device) Competence. Its simple and logical operation will enable you to learn, check your knowledge, capture evidence and be assessed wherever you may be.

To keep you on track, your dashboard will clearly show your progress compared with where you should be. You will also receive notifications to remind you of when task submissions are due. Your course tutor will also have access to the app so that they can not only mark your work, but also understand where and when you require support.

partnerships matter

An approach based on partnership

Any programme of study is a partnership between learner and tutor – and often also your employer. Partnerships are based upon trust, honesty and a clear, shared, understanding of what the goals are.

We will provide full and appropriate support to give you the best chance of success and in return, require you to communicate and put in the effort required to do yourself justice.
