For Business
Sixth Form & College Leavers
When I finished sixth form, I found the decision of my next step a difficult one, but Hazlewoods has been the perfect stepping stone for me. I have been able to learn valuable experience on the job, whilst also receiving excellent support through all of my exams from Hazlewoods.
In just 18 months with the firm I have developed so much, not only as a professional, but as a person as well and I have made some great friends along the way.”

Our apprentices study alongside work. Having partnered with First Intuition for a number of years, we have been consistently delighted with the training and personal support that they provide. Tutors are approachable and supportive, giving regular feedback on progress to ensure you’re on the right track.
Hazlewoods pays for all associated study costs, give extra days off for revision and exams and pay all travel expenses.
