Who is it for?
The Learning Agreement is available to 16-17 years olds who are in work and are not receiving training towards a nationally recognised qualification.

That depends on the course you choose. The training may be in the workplace or off site. We will negotiate the different options available in advance with both you and your employer. All that is required from you is your time and commitment.
