Our Tutors: Experts Who Stretch and Challenge
Our tutors are more than educators—they’re digital subject experts with real-world experience in IT infrastructure, data analytics, software development, and digital marketing. They:
- Deliver engaging, off-the-job training tailored to each apprentice’s role
- Use mentoring models to coach learners through challenges
- Collaborate with employers to ensure apprentices apply their learning in meaningful ways
- Regularly undergo observations and feedback cycles to refine their practice
This approach ensures apprentices are not just meeting standards—they’re exceeding them.
