Apprentices attend block release training at the Performance Academy in Coventry and these are typically one week long, pre-allocated training dates. The number of weeks that an apprentice will attend will depend on the programme that they are enrolled onto.
The key benefit of Block Training is that an Apprentice gets a concentrated period of learning in our state of the art Academy.

A typical working week could be 40 hours Monday to Friday 8.30am – 5.30pm, however each of our Dealers will have different requirements.
All learners will be required to work the minimum apprenticeship duration of 30 hours per week. At least 20% of your working hours will be allocated to ‘off-the-job’ training. We’ll support you to understand the working hours during the recruitment process.
All of our opportunities receive a really good response and so we’re looking for you to demonstrate why you stand out from the crowd. We’re not looking for the finished article; rather we want to identify those people that are ambitious and demonstrate a willingness to learn, who are excited by the prospect of working with our fantastic, technologically advanced vehicles and really engage in the recruitment process.
We commit to supporting the development of our Apprentice’s technical, employability and broader personal development skills, to ensure they can progress and develop their career. That is why when it comes to selecting the right people to become apprentices, it’s as much about attitude as it is about vocational and academic success. Therefore in addition to the entry qualifications we require from you, we’ll also look for you to demonstrate the following key behaviours. From problem-solving abilities to an enthusiasm for our industry, these are all attributes that will be vital in your new role and they will be assessed throughout the application process.
- Willingness to learn
- Team working / working with others
- Motivation for the role / automotive and engineering interest
- Personal responsibility and career ownership
- Problem solving
Age: 16+

Your application will be assessed by the Recruitment & Selection Team against the Entry Requirements specified for the role. We aim to update you on the status of your application within no more than 5 working days.
If you are successful in your application you will be invited to participate in a short telephone interview. Candidates are then shortlisted again and will be asked to complete a range of web-based assessments appropriate to the role that you have applied for.
Finally candidates are invited to meet with their local Dealer in the form of a face-to-face interview. This may extend to a second interview and in some cases a working trial.
More information will be shared with candidates as a part of the process. Feedback is made available to candidates at each stage.
We welcome applications from everyone irrespective of gender and ethnic group and appointment will be based on merit alone. Being committed to equal opportunities, if you have a disability please state this during the application process. Measures will be put in place to support you through your application and apprenticeship journey.
Our Dealers dictate the remuneration that our learners receive. All Dealers are required to pay, at least, The National Minimum Wage. The current National Minimum Wage for an apprentice is £3.70. This rate applies to apprentices under 19 and those aged 19 or over who are in their first year.
More information about the minimum wage for apprentices can be found on the Government website at:
https://www.gov.uk/national-minimum-wage-rates
Apprentices are paid for their normal working hours and training that’s part of their apprenticeship.

Your future is our future
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of independence that your first car gives you. To go where you want, when you want without relying on lifts, taxis or public transport. It’s the same feeling you have when you receive your first pay check. It gives you a strong sense of independence and achievement.
At The Performance Academy we are committed to giving you the best start in your career and an apprenticeship in our UK dealer network, whatever your chosen specialism, will provide you with the essential skills, knowledge and real life work exposure to kick start your career.
