Simian are a well established training provider who are a registered to deliver apprenticeships. We believe in investing in the future of the sectors that we deliver training for and as a company, we are passionate about doing our part to involve the skills shortages within the roofing and scaffolding sectors.
We have recently invested in our training centres to ensure that our learners are receiving the best training that they possibly can. We are keen to show these centres off whenever we can so even if you do not have an apprentice yet, come and see what we do!
Our robust recruitment policies mean that we only use the best trainers with extensive experience in the roofing industry.
We have relationships with multiple manufacturers and suppliers ensuring that apprentices install and receive CPDs for a wide range of products during their time on our courses.
