The programme enjoys high success rates due to a commitment to high quality tailored training by both Ford and the Outsourced Training Company.

“Both Ford Management and our Union are committed to equipping our apprentices with a high quality training programme encompassing practical and theoretical skill development . We work closely with our partner, The Outsourced Training Company, to ensure the ongoing quality standards of the programme are maintained and progressed”
