How to apply
Apprenticeships

Step 1

Complete an application form

Once you’ve secured employment and found an apprenticeship you’re interested in, applying is easy – just contact us by email to request an application form and we’ll explain the process to you in full.

If you’d like more information or have any questions, get in touch by emailing apprenticeships@coleggwent.ac.uk.

Please ensure that your email address is correct in your application as we will send regular updates to the email address you provide.

Step 2

We’ll talk to your employer

Once your application has been submitted, our Work Based Learning Assessors will talk to your employer to discuss the work you’ll need to do to achieve your Apprenticeship. They’ll also need to sign a Three-way Agreement.

Step 3

Accept your offer

Log in to CG Portal and follow the instructions in your offer email to accept your place.

Step 4

Attend enrolment

When everything’s in place, we’ll give you a time and place for enrolment. You’ll simply need to bring the following documents with you:

• National Insurance plastic card, HMRC letter or Full Passport
• Highest Qualification Certificate
• Latest payslip / contract of employment / correspondence from employer
• Driving licence (full or provisional) or birth certificate
• Proof of home address

If you’re unsure of what you need to bring, simply email apprenticeships@coleggwent.ac.uk.

Step 5

Start your apprenticeship

College starts in early September. You’ll get an email to your college email address with your start date and details on how to view your timetable through the CG Connect app.

Timetables can take a few days after enrolment to be added to the CG Connect App and they can also change right up until the start of the new term. So please allow time for this and keep checking the CG Connect App for updates.
