Capel

Grow your own employees with Capel Manor College. We offer a range of popular arboriculture and horticulture apprenticeships throughout the year for anyone aged 16 or over. Training for apprentices aged 16-18 is FREE to employers. Achievement levels on both our courses are high: for arboriculture it was a 97 per cent success rate over the past three years. Our students are also equipped with many of the 'tickets' required in the modern workplace before they leave, as we have London's only NPTC/CGLI accredited assessment centre on site and we build these exams into our courses. Our apprenticeships are designed by business. We give employers the chance to shape our programmes through employer forums, while each of our apprenticeships courses has a dedicated advisory committee made up of NPTC, LANTRA and employers’ representatives as well as college staff. We also offer a bespoke training package - talk to us to find out more.
