Following the launch of its Birmingham and London operations, the Bloom Apprenticeship Academy for Estate and Letting Agents is to open a third centre, in Manchester city centre in early May.

The government-funded training programme will have places for 100 teenagers in four intakes each year, and lasts six months.

Prospective agency employers can contact Bloom via www.BloomBi.co.uk or phone 07715 103275.

    Mr Rawlings... we have not necessarily seen eye-to-eye previously on various matters here. However, your involvement with this scheme is commendable, and I am first to give praise and backing where due.

    Hopefully, SOUND business skills and some realistic 'training' is being imparted to the students. Of course, we all know that virtually nothing will prepare them for what happend day in, day out in an office situation - but anything is better than throwing them in raw I am sure.

    I am directly involved in Bloom and would invite anyone to visit any of our three training centres in Birmingham, London or Manchester. I think you'd be impressed not only with the quality of business-focused training, but also with the standard of bright young apprentices who have decided on a serious career in the industry from day one. I wish I had received this sort of training when I first started!

    Bloom is achieving some outstanding results and I think you'll find the employers who are engaging them are generally delighted! bloombi.co.uk

    I used to work with one of the directors of Bloom at another company. The training seems fairly effective from having one of the interns working with us.

    Have they actually succeeded in getting their training materials produced yet? Not the first time an "entrepreneur" has spotted a money-making opportunity in successive Governments' willingness to chuck taxpayers' money at privately-run "training." In any case, with so many experienced agency staff out of a job, why would anyone want to take one of these kids on - even if they complete the course?
