For Potential Employers

Employer Based Training (EBT) is an initiative linking employment and training. The aim is to use the expertise of the employer and the practical experience of the workplace to train people with a disability to become potential employees.

APT uses an inclusive model of training for EBT which means that training occurs at the job site. Any extra occupational training required, for example, Manual Handling or Basic Food Hygiene, is also provided for the trainees. APT also covers the cost of insurance, while training allowances are covered by FAS.

APT is accredited, since 1999, by the National Accreditation Committee and subsequently FAS as an Approved Training Centre.
