I have worked with Rewards for over 5 years and employed
several staff from Rewards and most of these staff are still

have been very professional to deal with and always very
efficient and reliable. The courses my staff go on are
excellent and they enjoy doing them. They are great

Qualification
A Modern Apprenticeship (MA) is a nationally
recognised work-based method of skill
development and qualification achievement. It
encourages apprentices to take ownership of
their roles, be more effective in the workplace
and adds value to their role.
Delivery
The qualifications are typically achieved within
6-12 months. Candidates will receive
workplace visits from a Rewards Assessor on
a regular basis at a pre-arranged time and
date.
There will always be a certain amount of
flexibility during the qualification and Rewards
will adapt the MA according to your needs
and those of your company.
From a business point of view the MA qualification is cost efficient,
low maintenance and it motivates and encourages staff, which is a
win-win situation. I personally have found working with Rewards a
pleasure and would recommend Rewards to anyone seeking
professional training support.

came across Rewards who were able to offer exactly what

available. We have no hesitation in recommending
