What is a Traineeship?

A traineeship is on-the-job training with an employer, while you study and get paid – with a focus on hands-on practical learning over academic theory.

It’s perfect if you want to get a professional, industry-led qualification at the same time as real-world work experience. This can be full-time or part-time, normally over one or two years.

During your training you will be mentored by a supervisor who makes sure you learn all the right skills.

There are so many reasons why an apprenticeship or traineeship could be right for you, including:

Experience and new skills while you get paid
Valuable hands-on training in the workplace
Nationally recognised qualification
Flexible, with full or part time study options
Same conditions and benefits as other employees
No debt to worry about after you qualify

What people say about their learning experience with us

I was looking for a good institution for my career change and I found this wonderful company named Meditech. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I have started working while completing my studies side-by-side so I'm happy with Meditech.

I look forward going to class always. It is interactive. The modules are simplified so it's easy to understand and put to practice.

I found the course so helpful to gain not only a lot of knowledge but practical side of it so I would be ready to deal with real situations when I start working on the field comfortably. Sharyn and the team are inclusive and supportive, I do enjoy my learning experience at Meditech Learning College.
