What is DART?

DART is a specialist training provider which contracts with the Learning and Skills Council (LSC), to offer land-based training in Derbyshire and surrounding counties. Training, assessment and certification for eligible people is FREE. Employers with apprentices age 19 - 24 will be required to pay a contribution towards the cost of the programme.

DART is not a college and does not offer full-time courses. All learners with DART must be in employment or on work placements.

We can often help young people find a work placement or employment and will also assist employers looking for a young person as a learner. Applications are welcome from employers who already have an employee for apprenticeship or train to gain. These can include family members and volunteers.

All programmes have the following benefits:

  • Learners can start at ANY time of the year
  • FREE NVQ training and assessment for all eligible learners
  • Additional specialist days of training
  • Expert career information, advice and guidance.
  • Help for learners requiring additional support

All DART programmes will develop and assess practical skills in the workplace to a recognised national standard and cover the background knowledge needed to carry out practical tasks competently.

There are two levels of Apprenticeship available: Apprenticeship (A) and Advanced Apprenticeship (AA). We also run an E2E scheme for 16-18 year olds (NVQ level 1) and a Train to Gain contract for adult workers.
