Modern Apprenticeships Scotland


Minerva delivers the Modern Apprenticeship programme in Dumfries & Galloway.  This is a government funded scheme which allows companies to offer training and development to their current employees or gain a new employee who can be trained and developed.  Individuals must be aged between 16 and 24 and capable of achieving a vocational qualification (VQ).  Funding for 16 to 19 year olds is available for all of our vocational qualifcations, while for 20 to 24 year olds the range of subjects and courses is a little more restricted.


Minerva People are the current "Scottish Modern Apprenticeship Learning Provider of the Year".  This national award was celebrated at the Scottish Modern Apprenticeship Awards 2010 in December.  So if you want to train with the best Modern Apprenticeship training company in Scotland, it makes sense to contact Minerva.


The vocational qualifications gained are SVQs (Scottish Vocational Qualifications) which are highly regarded by employers in Dumfries & Galloway as they demonstrate that an individual has the job related skills to perform in the workplace.


Minerva currently offers the following qualifications to Modern Apprentices:


SVQ Level 5 Management
SVQ Level 4 Management
SVQ Level 3 Management

SVQ Level 3 Business and Administration
SVQ Level 2 Business and Administration

SVQ Level 4 Children's Care Learning and Development

If you have staff aged 16 - 19 and you feel your business could benefit from the expertise and knowledge gained through a Modern Apprenticeship or are an individual interested in this programme then please contact Minerva today.

Funding is also available for 20 - 24 year olds, however the subject range is more restricted.  Please contact Minerva to find out about about Modern Apprenticeships for 20 - 24 year olds.
