Apprenticeships are open to people of all ages. Whether you're starting your career, changing industries or looking to upskill in your current role, there is likely to be an apprenticeship that's right for you.

Not at all. This is one of the biggest myths surrounding apprenticeships. Many apprentices are existing employees or experienced professionals looking to develop new skills or progress into more senior roles.

For most learners, apprenticeships are fully funded or heavily government-funded, depending on eligibility and the employer's circumstances. Our team can advise on the funding available to you.

Yes. Apprentices are employees and receive a salary while they learn. They also benefit from gaining valuable work experience alongside their qualification.

The length varies depending on the programme and level, but most apprenticeships take between 12 and 24 months to complete.

Training is delivered through a blend of workplace learning, one-to-one support, online sessions and practical activities. We work with employers to deliver training in a way that fits around business operations wherever possible.

Off-the-job training is dedicated learning time that helps apprentices develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for their role. It doesn't have to take place away from work and can include workshops, coaching, projects and online learning.

From enrolment through to End-Point Assessment (EPA), you'll have dedicated support from experienced tutors and skills coaches who are there to guide you every step of the way.

The EPA is the final independent assessment that confirms an apprentice has developed the knowledge, skills and behaviours required by the apprenticeship standard. We'll prepare and support you throughout the process.

Absolutely. Many employers use apprenticeships to upskill existing staff, develop future leaders, improve retention and fill skills gaps within their business.

Apprenticeships help businesses develop a skilled workforce, improve productivity, retain talent and invest in employee development, often with significant government funding available.
