We are a small, specialised training provider which means that we can give you personalised service, and also provide your apprentice with the best apprenticeship experience possible.
WEBS was founded in 1968 by a group of local upholstery and furniture companies (Wade Upholstery, Everest Furniture, Beauvale Furniture, and Gimson & Slater) to provide excellent training for their new apprentices. WEBS have since expanded to now offer courses across the country providing training nationally across small businesses to national brands.
Our results speak for themselves!
- We outperform other providers for our courses
- Higher completion rate than national average
- Over 75% distinction rate at end point assessment
- Over 50 years’ experience delivering apprenticeships
We also achieved Ofsted Good accreditation in March 2024.
