MBKB Students at ALD can now apply for Student Discount cards!

Great news...students training with us under MBKB funding will have the opportunity to apply for a NUS Student Discount Card

NUS Apprentice extra provides discounts in-store and online at your favourite brands to help your hard earned cash go a little further.

Ran by the National Union of Students, (NUS) and so the money we raise selling the discount card helps to fund a new National Society for Apprentices, which will serve to represent your needs and those of all vocational learners.

 For just £11 for 12 months, you get discounts with the likes of The Co-op, Amazon.co.uk, Superdrug, Alton Towers, Odeon Cinemas and much much more! More about NUS and Apprentices (http://www.apprenticeextra.co.uk/nusapprentices.aspx)
