About the awards
The UK's national celebration of excellence in apprenticeships and workforce training
Celebrating excellence since 2018
First held in 2018, the awards return in 2027 to celebrate the best of the sector once again. Each year the awards recognise outstanding achievement, innovation and impact in delivering high-quality training and opportunities that change lives and strengthen the workforce.
The awards are open to employers, training providers and individuals across the UK, and are free to enter. With over 700 nominations received in 2025, they attract the most ambitious organisations in the sector.
The ATAs are owned and operated by EducationScape and delivered in partnership with FE Week and the Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP). They form part of the annual Apprenticeships and Training Conference.
