Employers

We know how important it is that your apprentice or trainee is progressing through their training. To give you certainty and enable your own operational planning, we will be delivering face-to-face training where it is safe to do so along with moving some training to online formats as appropriate.

If there are any changes to our training delivery that will impact your apprentice or trainee, a Shafston representative will be in contact with you closer to their scheduled start date. Conversely, please contact Shafston immediately if your apprentice or trainee is unable to attend their training as planned.
