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.
