Our annual awards evening celebrates the hard work of our learners who complete their City & Guilds NVQ Level 3 Qualification.
Tuesday 12th March 2024 saw the return of our Annual Awards Evening. The event recognises the hard work, commitment and dedication of our learners over the past 12 months. It was also fantastic to have the opportunity to recognise the dedication of our employers who invest their time, experience and knowledge in the training of the next generation of electricians.
Following on from the success of last year we had in excess of 150 attendees including daytime apprentices, evening learners and their employers from within the electrical industry.
Award winners were selected across each of our four apprenticeship year groups and also from our evening learners. This year we also introduced a range of employer awards.
Huge congratulations, once again, to all of our award nominees and winners!
Special recognition must go to Sam Bailey from Highpride Developments who won a hat
trick of awards including Rebus Training Apprentice of the Year.
Rebus Training is proud of our commitment to fundraising within the local community. Throughout the evening we raised £630
for our chosen charity of 2024, the Midlands
Air Ambulance
with a charity raffle.

Our Annual Awards evening took place on 13th February 2023 in the Valiant Suite at Port Vale Football Club and was our largest awards event to date. The evening was to celebrate our student's hard work and successes throughout 2022. A fantastic evening was had by all who attended.
Along with our apprentices and adult learners, it was amazing to see family, friends, employers and special guests join in with the celebrations.
