JTL, a training provider for electrical and plumbing apprenticeships across England and Wales, has been announced as a finalist at the Apprenticeship and Training Awards 2025.
The FE Week and AELP Apprenticeship and Training Awards, in association with City & Guilds, celebrate the outstanding achievements of employers and training providers from across the UK.
These awards recognise those who are shaping a highly skilled, inclusive, and future-ready workforce through their commitment to apprenticeships and wider training and development.
JTL has been shortlisted in the ‘Best Use of Technology’ category, reflecting what the organisation calls its “continued commitment to delivering high-quality, learner-centred training that adapts to emerging technologies and equips learners with the skills needed to meet the evolving demands of the building services engineering sector.”
Using technology for advanced learning
JTL reportedly impressed judges with its blended learning strategy, underpinned by its bespoke digital learning platform, LEDA (Learn, Educate, Develop, Advance).
The company specialises in electrical and plumbing apprenticeships, which means – given they are hands-on, physical occupations – the vast majority of learning will always take place in person.
However, JTL says it has evolved to bring forward high-quality digital learning that aligns with the hands-on workshop and on-site training that its apprentices receive.
LEDA now supports more than 30,000 registered users and provides interactive, mobile-friendly, and scenario-based learning resources that aim to enhance both on-site and in-centre training.
The platform enables apprentices to consolidate theory, prepare for assessments, and access personalised support whenever they need it.
The organisation was also recognised for the quality and consistency of its training centres across England and Wales, as well as for its role in addressing national skills gaps through employer-aligned curriculum design and wide-reaching learner support.
The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony in March.
In response to this announcement, Chris Claydon, Chief Executive at JTL, comments, “We are extremely proud to have been named a finalist for such a respected national award.
“This recognition reflects the dedication of our talented staff, the ambition of our apprentices, and the strong partnerships we have with employers across the country.
“At JTL, we are committed to delivering high-quality, future-focused training that equips learners with the technical skills, confidence, and resilience they need to thrive.
“To be shortlisted is a testament to the impact of our work and the progress we continue to make in modernising and strengthening apprenticeship training across the building services engineering sector.”
