Available on several levels, anyone can complete an apprenticeship programme, regardless of their age or experience, from school leavers to management teams. You can also enrol and upskill your existing employees to fill skills gaps and secure your organisation’s succession plan.
Apprenticeship training provides your business with enthusiastic employees qualified through programmes designed by employers, for employers. They provide the most current skills, knowledge and behaviours required in today's business environment.
Apprenticeships combine on-the-job experience with off-the-job training. This means that your business benefits from a workforce that has the right blend of practical experience, skills and knowledge.
The employer can offer apprenticeships to new recruits (with help from our excellent candidate recruitment process) or use apprenticeships to upskill existing employees to close skills gaps and support a succession planning strategy.
These flexible training programmes can be studied from Level 2 to Level 7 and combine:
- Teaching, learning and assessment in the workplace.
- Teaching, learning and assessment in the classroom.
- Independent End Point Assessments (this may consist of interviews, exams, portfolios, presentations and practical assessments).
Programme delivery is flexible and can be designed to minimise disruption to the day-to-day running of your organisation.

Funding for apprenticeships
All organisations with a wage bill of £3million or above are classed as levy paying businesses and are allocated a levy allowance to invest in apprenticeships. Non Levy paying employers receive funding from 95% to fully funded, dependent on the size of their workforce and the age of their apprentice. Find out more about the apprenticeship levy on our finance and funding page.
