Alumni
Modern Apprentices become alumni when they are entitled to have received their award certificate. We are keen to maintain contact with our alumni in a way convenient to you. When you complete your qualification, we will contact you and request your consent for us to continue to communicate with you and we hope that you will be happy to give this and stay in touch.
It is very helpful to know the best way for you to receive information from us and we will ask you for your preferred method of communication at the same time.
In order that we can obtain information on the destination pathways of our Modern Apprentices, we will also get in touch with you at regular intervals following Graduation and ask you to complete a Destination of Leavers questionnaire. You can contact us at anytime to notify us that you no longer wish to take part in these surveys.
