The Apprenticeship scheme is run by the government as an approach to get young people working, gaining qualifications, and earning money at the same time.

Healthcare Computing have been training apprentices for almost 3 years now.  We have previously had 2 people successfully complete apprenticeships in Business Administration and we currently have 2 members of our staff undertaking a Business Administration Apprenticeship and a Warehousing and Distribution Apprenticeship.

All of our apprentices undertake their training within the Healthcare Computing office with an assessor coming in every few weeks to monitor their progress.

“I started my apprenticeship in Business Administration in 2007 at level 2, and went on to complete a level 3 NVQ in Business Administration, and then completed an evening course in Human Resources with the CIPD. I found working and learning in the office a much better way than just going into college everyday as you get to see what it is like to put what you had learnt into practice. Also everyone here is very helpful and always offered advice when I had questions on how things should be done.”

Gemma Nicholass – Business Administrator

“I am currently studying for an NVQ level 2 in Warehousing and Distribution. The apprenticeship scheme is very good and has helped me with my job role here at Healthcare Computing. The company are very helpful and give me lots of guidance and time so that I can complete my work to the best of my ability. After completing this apprenticeship I will definitely look at carrying on my studies and gain more qualifications relevant to my job role.”

Dan Bailey – Warehouse Operative

“I first started off at Healthcare Computing in January 2009 – I was undertaking the Business Administration apprenticeship.  My assessor was very friendly and I found that it was a pleasure to work with everyone at Healthcare Computing – a great atmosphere and great people, always willing to help. It took me a year to complete my apprenticeship and I found that it wasn’t as much of a struggle as I first assumed and before I knew it I was breezing through.”

Dan How – Service Desk Technician

“I have found my apprenticeship a very positive experience. I have had a fun time learning many things and getting to know the people I work with. Whilst completing an apprenticeship you are able to obtain valuable qualifications and earn money in the process. The training you are given is all related to the work you’re doing during your apprenticeship.”
