And both leave plenty of room for fun. What we class as compulsory modules include, for example, those where you take part in the kick-off event attended by all YIPs and trainees or where you impress customers with your communication skills in the context of your work and apprenticeship situation.

Our programme is varied because we want you to be able to tailor your YIP programme to your personal interests and strengths.
