Why Bentley Training Centre?

We understand that sixth form or college may not be the right route for everyone and that some people prefer practical training. At Bentley Training Centre, learners undertake a wide range of practical training in a purpose built centre, learning the skills to progress onto Apprenticeships or employment.

Over the past 10 years Bentley Training Centre has trained more than 5,000 people in a wide variety of trades ranging from brickwork and joinery to Painting and Decorating. We have helped over 75% progress onto further training or to create a CV and find a job.

We currently have three courses designed for young people:

Pre-Apprenticeship Training: The course consists of a number of modules in bricklaying AND joinery.  On successful completion of this course students will be awarded a nationally recognised certificate (City & Guilds 6218) which will increase their chances of securing an Apprenticeship or further training.
