This internally run apprenticeship will train individuals in the skills and attributes necessary to become an effective Educator outside the classroom in as short a time as practicable; enabling further time to be devoted to building experience through the delivery of courses to an increasingly wide range of audiences.

The training period is essentially unpaid, however you will receive board and lodging free of charge at the designated FSC Learning Location.  The next nine months of the apprenticeship will be paid at £243.20 per week, which equates to £12,646 per annum (£9,484 actual per annum), paid over 11 equal monthly instalments.
