Apprenticeships are a valuable opportunity for organisations. Apprentices develop skills and knowledge directly related to their jobs through practical, work-based learning, and as an employer, you can get funding from the government to help pay for apprenticeship training. By positively affecting cultural change, a successful apprenticeship scheme can improve both productivity and competitiveness whilst at the same time improving staff morale and retention, the ability to attract good staff and the reputation of that organisation in its respective sector.

We work with our apprenticeship employers to identify their business needs and ensure the programme is right for them, and we provide support for our employers throughout the entire apprenticeship process - from the initial scoping to the launch of your apprenticeship programme, and we continue this support throughout your partnership with us.

We currently have two intakes per year - one in September and one in February and we offer two modes of study; Standard Mode (30 months) or Fast Track Mode (24 months), the choice of which lies with you as the employer. The deadline for applications to the September intake typically falls in June, while the deadline for the February intake typically falls in November. Apprentices will attend their job as usual throughout the working week, with Fridays being reserved for learning. The programme is delivered remotely so apprentices may choose to undertake their studies from their place of work.

In addition to the support your apprentices will receive, we have a dedicated Partnership Liaison Manager who is on hand to answer any questions from employers and provide updates on learners throughout their time on the programme.
