What is a gold standard apprenticeship provider?

On a daily basis, employers ask us: “how can I tell if an apprenticeship provider is good”? Our gold standard makes this simple, saving you precious time and resources when you’re looking for an excellent provider partner.

Every single one of our gold standard providers is rigorously assessed, and regularly reviewed, on its ability to deliver an outstanding service to employers.

When you choose to work with one of our gold standard providers, you’ll know that they:

  • Work to an agreed and consistent service level
  • Deliver responsive, flexible programmes
  • Will reduce the burden on your business and ensure that their apprenticeship training delivers measurable results that your business will value
  • Are committed to – and passionate about – raising professionalism across the visitor economy sector
  • Will work in collaboration with other apprenticeship partners to achieve the best results for your business
  • Stay one step ahead of the evolving policy, business and economic landscape
What’s the difference between a gold standard apprenticeship provider, and the providers on the register of apprenticeship training providers (RoATP)?

Any provider that wants to deliver apprenticeships must be on the RoATP before they can be paid public funding to do so. As such, all of our gold standard apprenticeship providers will also be listed on the register.

A gold standard provider has gone through an assessment with People 1st that focuses specifically on the quality of service they give to employers, the results they deliver and how proactive they are at staying abreast of apprenticeship developments and best practice.

Put simply – providers on the RoATP have proven that they are suitable to operate as a training provider. People 1st gold standard providers have proven that they are able to deliver outstanding service that will help businesses achieve the best return on investment into apprenticeships.

What businesses say:

“When we were choosing a training provider to deliver our new apprenticeship programme, we only considered those that held the People 1st gold standard. We knew it would give us another level of quality assurance on top of simply being listed on the Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers, so we insisted that they had to have that stamp of approval.”

Tracey Anderson, Performance and Development Manager, Center Parcs

"Being assured of quality is really key. For us, not having tons of experience of working with apprenticeship providers, the People 1st gold standard was a real seal of confidence so we knew we didn't have to worry about that. It allowed us to focus on finding the right cultural fit for our organisation." 

Carly Fish, Skills and Education Lead, Nando's
