Apprenticeships at ELFT

Our apprentices

Apprenticeships are perfect for those starting their career at the NHS, as well as for those wanting to reach their future career goals. From GSCE equivalent apprenticeships at Level 2, to a Level 7 Masters, we have it covered!

With the help of our wonderful apprentices, we have created a promotional video to encourage everyone to consider an apprenticeship as an entry route or a way to progress your career in the NHS.
