Our Story
Semester: Learning and Development (Semester), is a private training provider, founded in October 2014. In 2018, Semester gained approval on the Register of Approved Training Providers (RoATP), which has since migrated to the Apprenticeship Provider and Assessment Register (APAR) and began delivering apprenticeships.
In October 2024 Semester was acquired by RMI Standards and Certification (RMISC), with a clear plan for improvement and growth.
Our Vision
To become the number 1 independent online training provider for Engineering, Protective Services and Fire apprenticeships and qualifications.
Our Mission
Semester Learning and Development’s mission is to increase flexibility in learning and in life. We do this through innovative use of technology whilst using sustainable training methods to help protect the environment. We work closely with employers to upskill their workforce by providing a flexible and bespoke service.
Our Values
As part of the acquisition process, the values of Semester were reviewed and amended, placing an emphasis on the learners and their learning journey. The revised values are as follows:
- Learners first – We place the learners at the heart of everything we do, focusing on apprenticeship delivery which enhances their knowledge, skills and behaviours whilst preparing them for their future and career progression
- Flexibility through innovation – We encompass technology to deliver innovation and flexibility to training and assessment solutions to provide learners and employers with a bespoke package to meet their needs
- Integrity – We will always operate honestly, ethically and reliably to provide solutions to meet the needs of learners and employers
- Respect and support – We will treat everyone fairly and equally and listen to the views of our learners, employers, staff and stakeholders to provide a supportive and respectful environment
