Apprenticeship Central launch a VDA Apprenticeship Programme

Apprenticeship Central has announced its Vehicle Damage Assessor Apprenticeship Programme has completed a successful trial phase and it will soon be able to place VDA apprenticeship candidates into bodyshops.

Eleanor Baker Barnes, Director at Apprenticeship Central, said, “We’re excited to unveil the next phase of our apprenticeship offerings. Through our Recruit and Retain programmes, our mission is to help equip apprentices with the skills and confidence they need to excel in a rapidly evolving industry while contributing to a more sustainable and innovative future.”

This initiative is designed to address critical skills gaps while fostering a culture of innovation among apprentices. Apprenticeship Central is committed to preparing apprentices not just for their roles today, but for a future filled with opportunity and progress.

Eleanor added, “Our apprenticeships are not just about developing skills, they are about shaping the leaders of tomorrow’s bodyshop world. The recent changes to Level 2 English and maths qualifications create new opportunities for a wider talent pool and we look forward to welcoming a new wave of apprentices who will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on the industry.”

Anyone interested in joining the programme, which is designed to support both new and current team members, is invited to email enquire@apprenticeship-central.co.uk
