Specialising in apprenticeships, commercial training, diplomas, and short courses, all tailored to meet the specific needs of learners, Kiwi Education was established in August 2013 and has gone on to become a prominent figure in the education sector in Southampton and beyond. 

Last year, Kiwi launched an ambassador programme to promote the city and all it has to offer. Southampton's Town Crier shared the good news at the Portland Terrace headquarters of the training provider behind the scheme, aimed at showcasing the city's culture, heritage and diversity.

Now the Le Manoir residential programme offers a week of immersive experiences in the picturesque heart of the Charente region in France.

Participants will engage in an enriching blend of team-building activities, wellness sessions, and captivating excursions to local areas with the backdrop of the splendid Maison de Maître.

It's a unique opportunity to learn, meet and network with new people and experience all that the area has to offer. Each unique week will focus on a theme linked to the apprenticeship, contain enrichment activities, master classes and team building confidence sessions.

The experience will be offered to all learners enrolling on apprenticeships programmes from now on. 

"This innovative addition underscores our commitment to elevating apprenticeship training," said Michael Steel, Managing Director at Kiwi Education. "We believe that an immersive learning experience in such a captivating environment can kindle learners' potential and foster growth."

"Here at Kiwi Education, we're guided by a vision of a world where every individual reaches their greatest potential. Our fundamental purpose revolves around providing development opportunities that empower learners to shape a brighter future for themselves and their organisations. We firmly believe that training should be accessible, enjoyable, and open to people of all ages and backgrounds."
