Parents are welcome to come and discuss your child’s progress and find out how we can support them in the coming months.

Study in Carlisle

Expanding our award-winning training and education to the people of Carlisle and surrounding areas

Study an apprenticeship!

An apprenticeship is a great way to gain a qualification on-the-job.

‘Earn while you learn’ and gain hands-on experience in a subject area of your choice alongside a local reputable employer.

Learning takes place at the brand-new Carr’s Engineering Skills Academy (based at Kingstown Broadway, Carlisle – click here for Google Maps link).

Apprenticeships are open to all ages – not just school leavers!

Open Evening — Friday 28th February 2025

*at the Carr’s Engineering Skills Academy in association with Lakes College based in Carlisle

Time: 3pm–6.30pm

Who we are

The Carr’s Engineering Skills Academy in association with Lakes College began delivering apprenticeship programmes in Carlisle from September 2022.

We now have more than 60 young people in training and work with many local employers from the nearby industrial estate, the wider city of Carlisle and nearby towns including Wigton, Penrith and Longtown.

This innovative collaboration between Bendalls Engineering and Lakes College is delivered from the company’s site on Kingmoor Broadway in Carlisle in our purpose-built workshops.

What we do

Apprenticeship standards we deliver include welding, fabrication and machining, with plans to expand our offer with engineering fitter and maintenance and operations engineering technician standards in 2025.

We offer flexible delivery models to cater for employer requirements where possible but most apprentices will be required to attend in-centre for two days or four days per week during their first year.

We have developed an excellent track record of training high-quality apprentices, many of whom are operating ahead of schedule in their apprenticeship learning
