QA Excellence Awards 2025
Celebrating Talent in Apprenticeships
In today’s fast-evolving apprenticeship landscape, QA stands at the forefront. With a proud heritage and the largest community of apprentices in the UK, we’ve helped more than 55,000 apprentices kickstart and accelerate their careers. Our commitment goes beyond delivering exceptional digital and tech programmes—we work closely with forward-thinking employers to create meaningful, career-shaping opportunities that make a real difference to individuals, businesses, and industries across the country.
The QA Excellence Awards mark an exciting milestone—our first celebration of apprenticeship excellence in England. This special event recognises the outstanding contributions of apprentices, employers, and partners who are helping to shape the future of work through innovation, talent, and dedication.
