Homestay
National Apprentices
Apprentices who live too far away to travel to the academy in Bristol stay with a local host family. S&B home stay providers come from all walks of life. For example, a widow or widower, a single person or couple whose children are grown up all make excellent hosts, too.
All of our home stay providers have regular DBS/CRB (criminal record) checks carried out on them. They also provide us with an annual landlord's gas safe certificate as well as their home contents insurance.
Most home stay providers are able to accommodate more than one apprentice at any one time so this may mean you will share a room with a fellow apprentice.
Home stay providers and their apprentices often develop great friendships that can last for many years.

S&B Automotive Academy welcomes many learners each year. Over 60% of these learners travel from around the UK to attend off-the-job training in Bristol. Our learners typically attend the academy around 6 times per year for 1-2 weeks.
For many learners this may be their first time they have been away from home and it is essential to their well being and success that they feel welcome and safe while attending the Academy.
The Academy has a network of host families to provide home stay. We are looking for friendly hosts in the South Bristol area who are to accommodate them.
If you would like to consider being a home stay please see below what is involved.
Our home stay providers provide a clean, comfortable room, hot evening meal and breakfast (cereal, toast, etc).
We are proud of our excellent team of hosts. The Academy is expanding and is keen to grow our network of providers.
