You can apply for an apprenticeship at our dedicated Activate Apprenticeships website. This will provide a list of all available apprenticeships that we offer. If you wish to study an apprenticeship at a particular college and already have employment, we suggest looking at the individual college website that you are interested in. A list of the apprenticeships specific to each college can be found on the main search page. 

For advice on how to find a workplace for your apprenticeship or any other related queries, please call Activate Apprenticeships on 01865 551015. 

We provide a highly supportive environment for all our students with a wide range of support services to aid you in your studies with Activate Learning. Your wellbeing and achievements are very important to us. While support is available to all students, we also know that some people need more personalised support to meet their needs.  

Our services include learning support, safeguarding, counselling, mental health support, financial support and events and enrichment. To find out more please visit: Supporting You. 

If you are concerned about your own or somebody’s else’s health, safety or wellbeing on or off campus you can contact the Safeguarding Hotline: 018655 50401. If you believe that anyone is in immediate danger or has been a victim of crime, please contact the emergency services.  

We aim to acknowledge your application within two working days of receipt; your application will then be processed, and you will receive an email advising on the next steps of the application process. Applicants will then receive a call from a member of the advice team to discuss your application in more detail. Further details will follow once you have received a conditional offer. The enrolment process will then begin in August which will finalise your place on the course. 

We offer a range of financial support designed to help students with the costs associated with their course. For further information on bursaries, advanced learner loans, course fees and how to apply please click here.

Please be aware, if you studied over seven years ago, we may not be able to assist due to our retention policy. Please call us on 0800 612 6008 so that an adviser can assist.  

If you have studied with us in the last seven years, you can request a Student Confirmation letter.

A student confirmation letter confirms an individual’s education history at Activate Learning by providing the name of the course and whether the course was full time or part time.

If you studied with us longer than seven years ago, unfortunately we are unable to provide a student confirmation letter as we are only allowed to keep student data for a maximum of seven years.
