About Damar

Damar Training has been delivering impactful apprenticeship training since 1980. We are proud to have worked with thousands of apprentices and many of the country’s leading employers.

The Damar Difference

We are one team with a common purpose. We believe passionately in the power of apprenticeships to create real, long-term value for individuals and organisations. We have a shared ambition, which is for our apprentices, their employers and our colleagues to achieve their potential.

Our values are central to everything we do here at Damar:

  • Impact: We deliver apprenticeships that make a positive and measurable difference to our students and employer partners
  • One team: We work together, acting with honesty, integrity and transparency 
  • Accountability: We do what we say we’ll do and deliver on our commitments
  • Common purpose: We bring our vision to life with the passion we have to achieve our goals.

These are the things we expect from each other and you can expect from us.

We don’t want to be the biggest. But, for the markets we serve, we want to be the best apprenticeship provider in England. We strive for consistency and high quality. This is why we employ sector experts and use technology to ensure that, wherever you are, you receive the same high level of service and expertise.

If you would like to work with our fantastic team as an employer partner, apprentice or colleague, then we’d love to hear from you.
