In times of conflict or peace, the Royal Navy is key to the prosperity of the United Kingdom and the stability of the high seas. All new recruits are to be offered the opportunity to commence an appropriate apprenticeship at a minimum of level 2, where a suitable standard exists or can be developed and is a viable way of delivering training. Over 6500 learners are on program at any one time, around 20% of the whole force. Our aim is to deliver highly trained and qualified personnel to the front line as well as equipping them for a future beyond the Royal Navy.

PETA Ltd is an award-winning corporate training and apprenticeships provider based in
Northarbour Road, Cosham.
PETA Ltd is a registered charity and has been a leading training provider and apprenticeship provider
in Hampshire for more than 50 years. Initially set up by business owner Alex Zemenides, who
identified a lack of training opportunities for his employees and other young people in the local area,
PETA was originally known as the Portsmouth Engineering Training Association.
We are still proud of our roots in engineering with our dedicated centre in Havant providing
engineering training courses and apprenticeships, however over the years PETA has expanded to
offer services within Health & Safety, Lift Truck, IT & Digital and Business, Management & Leadership
and Personal Skills development.
We pride ourselves on providing high-quality services to our customers aligning with our tagline
“Aspire to Learn, Apply to Advance”. Our quality provision has been recognised by the UK’s leading
awarding bodies and a full list of our certified standards can be found here.
In addition to providing the courses that are listed in our directory, PETA offers agility and
adaptability offering bespoke training courses tailored to the specific needs and availability of our
customers’ business. We have a vast range of facilities on-site to provide training and offer the
flexibility to deliver courses at the clients’ premises if required.
As an apprenticeship provider, we work closely with employers to identify which programme best
fits their needs, find the best suited candidates, and provide support and guidance throughout the
recruitment process. Similarly, with apprentices, we deliver impartial guidance to raise awareness of
apprenticeships amongst schools through various outreach activities, and support learners for the
duration of their apprenticeships and beyond.
PETA has a membership structure, and we are proud to partner with so many local and international
businesses who have experienced first-hand the benefits of choosing us as their preferred training
provider.
Our membership base of 250+ small to large businesses receive discounted rates on courses, and
have the opportunity to put themselves forward to sit on our board of councillors, holding an
influential role in the future of PETA and ultimately the future of training provision for businesses
and apprentices across the region.
