Talent shouldn't wait for money.
The Achievers Academy offers scholarship places to students who show real commitment and aptitude for a trade, so ability to pay is never the reason a young person is turned away from learning a skill.
Three Ways To Fund Your Place
Full, partial or sponsored
Every applicant is assessed individually, most places fall into one of three categories.
Full Scholarship
Tuition, materials and, on completion, a starter toolkit, fully covered for applicants who could not otherwise afford training.
Partial Scholarship
A reduced-fee place for applicants who can contribute something toward training but not the full cost.
Sponsored Apprenticeship
Places funded by a corporate, institutional or diaspora sponsor, often targeted at a specific group, such as young women entering a trade.
Three Ways To Fund Your Place
Tuition, materials and tools
Scholarship places are awarded based on assessed need and commitment, following an interview and trade-interest assessment.
Tuition
Course fees for the full programme, across all six phases from Foundation to Employment/Enterprise.
Workshop Materials
Consumables and materials used in practical training; fabric, wiring, blocks, cement and similar.
Starter Toolkit
For qualifying students who complete the programme, a set of tools to begin working immediately.
