Fest and the Best of the Rest

Shot of artwork inside Pirate Studios Reading location

Home to one of the largest and longest-running festivals on the UK circuit, Reading Festival started life as The National Jazz and Blues festival in the early 1960s. In this day and age, by performance, we reckon these hallowed stages have seen almost every rock and roll legend in history. Some legacy.

Away from this riotous annual weekender, the local area surrounding Pirate Studios Reading offers plenty around the banks of the Thames Valley and River Kennet. The Jolly Anglers is the local's choice watering hole; follow the Thames Path towards Reading Bridge and work up an appetite for brunch at Whittingtons Tea Barge — one of the cosiest snack spots we have ever had the pleasure of visiting.

How much of my time will the program take each week?

Apprenticeship training should be delivered during the apprentices’ working hours. All apprentices must be allocated 20% of their paid working hours for “off-the-job training”.That can be spread in any way across your working week and does not need to be taken as a solid chunk. It will likely vary week to week according to the specific course you are on and what is being delivered and its method of delivery each week.

Please see the “Delivery method” section of each cohort to get a better idea of how much

What if I decide to leave halfway through the program?

Our recruitment process will be focused on ensuring that we get people who are truly committed to their course.

In the first instance, we will do everything we can to support the apprentice to remain on the program.

In exceptional circumstances, such as long-term illness or in some cases personal challenges, we can apply a ‘break in learning’ to allow the apprentice some time away from their learning.

What are the benefits to the Apprentice?

Achieve a nationally recognised qualification
Develop, reinforce and enhance their skills, knowledge and behaviours to maximise their potential
Build their confidence
Earn as they learn. Pirate fund their apprenticeship training.

Why are there only 10 spaces available?

Each apprenticeship costs either £5,000 or £9,000 and Pirate has managed to secure £70,000 of external funding to provision this training programme this year. We also have to ensure we have the internal resources to be able to support these apprenticeships.

If I don’t get through this time, will there be another opportunity in the future?

Potentially. This is the first time Pirate is offering something like this and if all goes well we will want to continue to offer apprenticeships.
