Our Story
 We’ve been delivering work-based learning since our start over 40 years ago in Sheffield.
ESTAR’s journey began in 2022, supporting the delivery of apprenticeships through an existing training provider. These early partnerships helped lay the foundation for our employer-led, high- impact model focused on learner outcomes and workplace readiness.
In 2023, ESTAR Group was officially incorporated. The year was focused on business setup, building systems, piloting short courses, and developing our first curriculum plans across Engineering, Business and Education.
We focused on growth and delivery: launching non-funded training courses with charities and employers, piloting internal systems, building our quality framework, and preparing for regulated delivery.
In July 2025, ESTAR was officially approved on the APAR register, marking a major milestone. We launched our first regulated apprenticeship programmes, began hiring staff, and secured our first major contracts for Engineering and Low Carbon delivery.
In 2026, we launched our custom-built Head Office and Skills Centre — home to our Engineering, Motor Vehicle and Low Carbon Engineering training spaces. With new classrooms, workshops and employer spaces, we now deliver a fully ndependent, Ofsted-ready offer.
