The official Kia National Apprenticeship Programme is delivered from the new Kia Academy Training Centre in Nottingham.

The Kia Apprenticeship programme has been designed specifically to develop Kia apprentices to equip them with the highest level of skills and practical ability within the automotive industry. Training is delivered via a block release programme, at the state of the art Kia Training Academy in Nottingham. This provides Kia Apprentices with the most up to date manufacturer specific, knowledge and competencies that participants can put into direct action in the dealership when returning from the Kia Academy. This ensures that the Kia UK dealer network are supplied with the next generation of highly skilled employees and potential managers of the future.

Kia Apprenticeship Pathways which are now available in the U.K. from July 2012

All training is specifically designed and implemented in line with the IMI standards and assessment criteria, and is enhanced with KIA ethos, key values, branding and equipment. Graduates from the Kia Advanced Apprenticeship shall be eligible to continue their career progression with a Higher Apprenticeship (Level 4 / 5).
