Apprenticeship Employer Certificate Launched

The GTC has been involved in the development, review and promotion of the Governments Apprenticeship Scheme, as it acknowledges both golf club employers and greenkeepers requirements.  

The new Government seems committed to the Apprenticeship Scheme and funding, albeit reduced, will be channelled in the direction of Centres offering the Scheme.  

In recognition to employers supporting the Apprenticeship Scheme a Certificate may be claimed by employers from the Apprenticeship Service.   Those golf clubs with Apprentices registered with an Approved Centre may have already been made aware of the Certificate by their chosen Centre however, for more information on the Certificate click here:  

For golf clubs looking at recruiting an Apprentice visit the GTC Quality Assured Centres all offering the Apprenticeship in Greenkeeping. 

David Golding GTC's Education Director adds, "an apprentice supported by a committed Course Manager, employer and staff from a GTC Quality Assured Centre is what the future of the game of golf relies on. The Apprenticeship Scheme provides the opportunity to supply the sector with knowledgeable, skilled and professional greenkeepers for years to come".
