Hi All,

We are based in Barking, London and a company that offers boiler servicing, repair installation to refurbishments and restorations. We cover a good range of services for residential and commercial clients.

What I am looking to understand is:
1. How complicated is it to hire an apprentice?
2. What are the conditions of the hire?
3. Do I just go to a local college and see if they can assist?
4. What has been your experience in hiring apprentices ?

Look forward to hearing from you all.
 
I'm based in Guernsey at the FE college here. Our system may be different to the UK but here we have an Apprenticeships Officer and he is the first port of call for things like this. When we get either people looking to begin an apprenticeship or employers looking to hire they will often speak to him first.

He can advise employers on the criteria they need to meet, advise potential apprentices on what they need to do and he also tries to match apprentices with employers.

Hopefully your local college may have a person as helpful as our Joe (Apprenticeship Officer).
