The FE Week and AELP Apprenticeship and Training Awards, in association with City & Guilds, celebrate the outstanding achievements of employers and training providers from across the UK.

Now in their tenth year, these prestigious awards recognise the organisations and individuals shaping a highly skilled, inclusive, and future-ready workforce through their commitment to apprenticeships and wider training and development.

Originally launched in 2017 as the AAC Apprenticeship Awards, the ATAs have grown in scale and ambition, receiving over 700 nominations in 2026. Relaunched as the Apprenticeship and Training Awards (in 2024), they reflect the wider priorities of today’s skills landscape and the increasing importance of lifelong learning and workforce development.

National finalists are invited to attend an exclusive parliamentary reception and the Awards Ceremony, making this one of the most high-profile events in the apprenticeships and training sector.
