Frequently asked questions
What are apprenticeships?
Apprenticeships are structured training programmes that combine real work experience with classroom and virtual learning.
As organisations face skills gaps, apprenticeships offer a government-funded pathway for your teams to obtain recognised qualifications and certifications in various fields.
What is the Apprenticeship Levy?
The Apprenticeship Levy is a UK government initiative that provides organisations with funding to train apprentices.
Employers with a pay bill over a certain threshold contribute to the levy, which they can use to close skill gaps. Smaller organisations can also benefit through a levy transfer, where a levy-paying organisation pledges a portion of their unused funding.
What programmes do we offer?
We provide an array of apprenticeship programmes, including degree apprenticeships, that offer sought-after skills in AI, cloud, data, and beyond.
Our apprenticeships are tailored to different proficiency levels, ranging from foundation (Level 3) to masters (Level 7), for alignment with learners’ experience and your business requirements.
