Skilling that works for you
Our programmes are designed to fit around the needs of both learners and the businesses.
- Apprentices spend around 80% of their time in their day-to-day role, applying new skills in a real working environment, while the remaining time is dedicated to structured learning, workshops and development activities.
- This means that organisations get the benefit of learners adding continuous learning and capability throughout the length of the programme.
- We also work with businesses from a range of different sectors to deliver solutions bespoke to your needs and industry challenges.

Fund your skills programmes
Digital marketing apprenticeships can be funded through the Growth and Skills Levy, helping organisations upskill existing employees or develop new talent in critical cyber roles.
Levy-paying employers can use available funds to cover training costs, while many non-levy employers can access significant government funding support, making it a cost-effective way to build future-ready marketing skills.
