The Sales Apprenticeship is delivered through a combination of on-the-job and off-the-job training that allows apprentices to earn while they learn and gain an internationally recognised qualification.

This award-winning programme is now in its fourth year and over 120 employers are using this programme to enhance the skills of existing sales staff and train individuals aspiring to excel in sales careers. With zero training costs, employers can also avail themselves of an employer grant worth €4,000 for each apprentice registered.
