BAR support hundreds of companies, businesses or households relocate in the UK or even abroad. These employers have apprenticeships available NOW for school leavers and other young people. These apprenticeships come with industry-standard training coordinated by TRS Training.
By undertaking this Porters Apprenticeship, you’re guaranteed to develop the necessary skills for the removals sector. Anybody aged 16-18 can apply for this exciting new opportunity today. To help you make your mind up here are four reasons you should apply to get on a Porters Apprenticeship with TRS Training:
1. Get your driving licence!
As part of this Porters Apprenticeship, we’ll pay for you to take car driving lessons, take your theory test and obtain your license. Yes, that’s right, this programme includes driving lessons and your test! Because getting your license to drive a car is the first step towards driving a commercial vehicle. Your driving license is a great thing to have under your belt and on your CV, but lessons are expensive and soon mount up. Doing this apprenticeship means you won’t have to pay for lessons and your test.

And what’s more, this apprenticeship opens up a great long term career route. You can progress onto an apprenticeship in large goods vehicle driving (LGV). And long term, you could aim to qualify as a transport supervisor or manager, overseeing fleets of vehicles that keep the UK moving!

While working and learning industry skills on the job, you’ll be coached and supported by TRS Training You’ll attend virtual learning seminars, have a workplace mentor to guide you, and undertake a variety of sector specific training delivered by the BAR’s Learning & Development team.
