Apprenticeship training provider – data protection, business, legal, travel, medical, accounting and management.
About us
Damar Training is an award-winning provider of apprenticeship training and recruitment, specialising in business and professional services. Our goal is simple – to help organisations and individuals be the best they can possibly be. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our students. We specialise in business and professional services such as law and accountancy. We worked with large employers and sector groups to develop new apprenticeships in legal services and for the travel sector. Although we are headquartered in central Manchester, we work across England with partner-employers across a range of industry sectors. If your organisation employs (or is looking to employ) office staff, then we can add value. Many of the candidates who approach us are school and college leavers but apprenticeships are also for career-changers, people returning to the workplace and existing members of staff who need to develop their skills. There is no compromise on quality – it is simply an opportunity to recruit, mould and develop new and existing talent and help your organisation become more successful. Damar works with large employers who pay the apprenticeship levy as well as with smaller, non-levy paying employers. We are a long-established, privately owned business with a strong heritage, and clear purpose. We are Ofsted inspected (grade 2 – good) and have a direct contract with the Education and Skills Funding Agency. Most of our delivery takes place in the workplace. We have a national team of experienced coaches and 1:1 face to face online learning is complemented by a blend of online workshops, e-learning, activity briefs, and supported self-directed study.
