S'happening in Salford

Your Salford studios are right in the middle of Salford Quays aka Media City, the home of BBC and ITV studios, and only stone’s throw away from the Salford Lads Club — immortalised by The Smiths in 1985 as one of the most famous album covers of all time.

Looking to tune up or upgrade your kit? You're in capable hands at Forsyth's, the area's premier music institution since 1857 with a wealth of expertise to offer.

This is hallowed ground for soap enthusiasts too — filming for one of the small screen's most iconic and longest-running shows, Coronation Street, takes place just around the corner.

What are the benefits to the Apprentice?

  • Achieve a nationally recognised qualification
  • Develop, reinforce and enhance their skills, knowledge and behaviours to maximise their potential
  • Build their confidence
  • Earn as they learn. Pirate fund their apprenticeship training.

How much of my time will the program take each week?

Apprenticeship training should be delivered during the apprentices’ working hours. All apprentices must be allocated 20% of their paid working hours for “off-the-job training”.That can be spread in any way across your working week and does not need to be taken as a solid chunk. It will likely vary week to week according to the specific course you are on and what is being delivered and its method of delivery each week. 

Please see the “Delivery method” section of each cohort to get a better idea of how much

I have an issue with my certificate code
