The FE/6F/AE College's Online Apprenticeships Offer

https://www.collegewebsites.ac.uk/content-reviews/apprenticeships

This report is pretty simple and has been slightly delayed because this newly built dedicated website. It has four parts and this time round does not include a qualitative pick of outstanding examples of best practice:

1. The Education & Skills Funding Agency Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers
   A yes/no criteria with cells highlighted Yellow showing unregistered Colleges presenting Apprenticeships vacancies and cells highlighted Green showing registered providers with no Apprenticeships presentations including contact details or vacancies. This is no criticism as Colleges have strategic partnering arrangements.
2. Apprenticeships Pages & Business Pages
   A list of the main website pages showing Apprenticeships content either generally or specifically for each of the separate student and employer target audiences.
3. Contact Details
   This is pretty straightforward and is listed in the order; Meet the Team, contact person or people, and then each individual's telephone number and email address.
4. Vacancies
   A simple list of the manual (HTML/PDF/Jpeg) or technical presentations of current vacancies and the website page that this service presents on.

Congratulations to Loreto Sixth Form College for getting 1st place for the first time since this monthly snapshot review of traffic rankings started. There have only been a handful of Colleges from the current total of 448 that have got there. This unfortunately, equates to at best reaching only the, sub par, top 6,000 websites in the UK for traffic.
Below are the six Colleges that have reach number one spot. All the previous traffic rankings and order data is also available:
