At CSR Scientific Training, we are proud to be the countries only Ofsted outstanding specialist training provider for science and healthcare science apprenticeships.  

With more than a decade of experience, we have supported more than 3000 apprentices to either start or advance their scientific careers, working in partnership with hundreds of the UK’s world-leading scientific employers. 

Our vision is to bring education and industry together for a brighter, safer world.

We are passionate about inspiring the next generation of scientists and healthcare science professionals by ensuring our training is mapped directly to industry requirements.  

This approach ensures apprentices gain the technical skills and real-world experience needed to thrive in their chosen careers. 

We are committed to providing the highest quality of education, enabling every learner to achieve their maximum potential. 

One of our flagship programmes, the Level 3 Laboratory Technician Apprenticeship, has achieved accredited status with the Royal Society of Chemistry. This recognition highlights the quality of our training and the industry relevance of our curriculum. 

Behind every scientific breakthrough are dedicated laboratory technicians whose precision, expertise, and commitment turn ideas into results. Great science starts at the bench, and it is their work that makes innovation possible. As Alan Turing reminded us, ‘We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.’ Our lab technicians embody that spirit every day.” 

We are equally proud of our success rates, which consistently exceed national benchmarks – a testament to the hard work and dedication of both our apprentices and our training teams. 

Our success rates are forecasted to be over 80%, 20% higher than the national average.
