The Pirbright Institute: does its institute apprenticeship scheme sponsor a UK visa?

Unconfirmed. The Pirbright Institute publishes no sponsorship policy for its institute apprenticeship scheme, so we cannot state a firm answer. The Pirbright Institute is a virology research institute in Surrey working on viruses that threaten animal and human health. Its apprenticeship scheme covers business administration, engineering, IT and science, run with local colleges. Apprentices are employed on a fixed term contract on £20,420 a year with 25 days holiday, paid sick leave and a pension. The published routes are a two year Lab Technician apprenticeship where the tutor delivers the BTEC on campus so no travel is needed, two year Business Administration and Information Services apprenticeships assessed on site with college attendance only for invigilated exams, and three year Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Building Management Services apprenticeships on one day a week release during term time. The Institute says many apprentices have gone on to be employed there after qualifying. No sponsorship position is published.
