"Rochdale Training has delivered Engineering Apprenticeships for many years so they are familiar with the changes to engineering and the skills that engineers need as the years go by. This is why I choose to work with Rochdale Training as opposed to anyone else for Apprentices.  I also use Rochdale Training because they are engineers at heart, they deliver Supervisory, Technical and Health & Safety training which are all fundamental for our business".

Put simply – they are a pleasure to work with."

Northern Employment Services Ltd

"Rochdale Training is an Outstanding training provider who source, train and develop our Apprentices and existing employees. It was identified from the initial analysis we could benefit from recruiting an Apprentice. The recruitment team took all the pressures of Apprentice recruitment away from us and kept us informed throughout the process.
They have increased the skills of our team, staff retention, moral and bottom line performance. Rochdale Training is now well embedded within our business, understanding our culture whilst complimenting our internal training and development programmes. Our ‘working partnership’ with the team enables us to assess 'skill gaps' and implement employee development."
