“When I began my Modern Apprenticeship with Swansea ITeC I had little knowledge of computer systems. Throughout the three-year program, I attained knowledge in not only computer systems but in customer relations. The staff were very helpful and supportive at all times in ensuring I reached my targets. Without the support from Swansea ITeC I would not have been able to pursue my current goals or attain my current achievements.”

Darren Long

Computer Network Manager, Gowerton Comprehensive School

Why become a Modern Apprentice?

Training Information

Our IT training course is not just for new staff, but existing employees of a company as well, it is also available to people of all ages.

The Foundation Modern Apprenticeship leads to National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) level 2 and the Advanced Modern Apprenticeship to NVQ level 3.

Modern Apprentices will also be trained in Key Skills, such as team-working, communication, problem-solving - everything needed to become a success in the workplace.

Modern Apprenticeships progress at a pace suitable for the trainee and their company. Usually a Modern Apprenticeship lasts about three years, but it can be a bit shorter or longer.

Progression can be from Foundation Modern Apprenticeship to an Advanced Modern Apprenticeship and from there an apprentice can go on learning and gaining higher qualifications right the way to university and beyond...
