We will invite judges, finalists and finalist's plus ones, as well as coaches and employer representatives to the Awards Ceremony. The awards will take place at the Bristol Harbour Hotel in Bristol on Wednesday 6th November 2024. Please note, this is an invitation only event.

The LLAA24 will bring together over 160 guests. There will be a chance to network post-lunch and awards ceremony.

At the Lifetime Learner Achievement Awards, you can look forward to an exciting and inspiring day. The event will kick off with a warm welcome from an inspirational speaker, setting the tone for an uplifting celebration of lifelong learning.

Following this, you'll enjoy a delicious three-course lunch, providing an opportunity to relax and connect with colleagues and other finalists. The main highlight of the day will be the awards ceremony, where we recognise and celebrate the remarkable achievements of learners from across the country.

Throughout the event, there will be plenty of time to network with other finalists, employers, and employees from Lifetime Training, offering you a chance to share experiences, build new connections, and celebrate your journey together.

If you've been nominated and submitted your finalist form, we will reach out to you by Friday, 13th September 2024. If you have not heard from us by then, unfortunately, your application has not been successful. Due to the high volume of submissions, we're only able to contact the winners.

You can nominate as many people as you like. Please make sure that you provide the correct nominee contact details, as we will let them know they were nominated via email. 

This will remain anonymous.

Learners must have an end date before December 2024. We would especially love to recognise learners who are on their second or third apprenticeship with us.

Coaches: We are looking for votes from learners, learner managers or our employers to nominate our Coaches. This is because we know they will be best placed to judge their coaching abilities.

Learners: We are looking for votes from Lifetime Coaches and Tutors to nominate learners, but we also welcome nominations from learner's manager and/or employer.

Apprentice Champion: We are looking for votes from Lifetime Coaches and Tutors as well as Employers to nominate Apprentice Champions, as they can tell us first-hand how that Champion has made an exceptional impact.
