Largest Ever Investment At Senior Level

In preparation for the launch of the Apprenticeship Levy in May 2017, 3aaa Apprenticeships have appointed two key figures from Derby at senior level, to drive further growth for the Derby-based Apprenticeship training provider.

The Apprenticeship Levy sees the biggest shift in Apprenticeships in the last 25 years and is set to revolutionise the industry.

Since founding in 2008, 3aaa Apprenticeships have built a network of over 8,000 employers across England and have delivered localised training to 16-18-year-olds starting a professional services career in Technology, Digital Marketing, Accountancy and Business Administration.

To continue the growth of both their company and the local and national economy, 3aaa Apprenticeships have heavily invested in their business by appointing influential key figures at a senior level.
