Creative Process Announced as New Training Provider for PR Apprenticeship

London, 21 February 2013 - Creative Process has been confirmed as the new training provider for the PR Apprenticeship in partnership with the PRCA following Pearson in Practice’s planned departure from the adult training business.

Recognising the unique nature of the PR Apprenticeship, Pearson in Practice and the PRCA worked closely with the National Apprenticeship Service and the Skills Funding Agency to negotiate arrangements with a sector experienced partner for the PR Apprenticeship.

Having worked in the creative sector for 12 years, Creative Process currently offers Apprenticeships in Creative & Digital Media, Marketing and Advertising. As such, the company is perfectly placed to work alongside the PRCA to provide learning solutions for the PR Apprenticeship.

Francis Ingham, Chief Executive of the PRCA, explains: “The PR Apprenticeship is perfectly aligned with Creative Process’ existing portfolio and we’re confident that the programme will continue to grow and succeed within the new partnership and will benefit from the company’s decade of expertise in the creative sector.”

Andrew Carmichael, CEO of Creative Process, comments: “We’re delighted to be working with the PRCA to provide training for the PR Apprenticeship programme. Ensuring a smooth transition for the current Apprentices and a continuation of the programme for those who would like to join in the future is of paramount importance to us and we look forward to growing the offering in the years to come.”

Creative Process scored an Ofsted grade of ‘outstanding’ and has also recently been awarded the Skillset ‘Tick’ by the Sector Skills Council. Creative Process is also a National Apprenticeship Service recommended provider.
