For the vast majority of schools in England, apprenticeships are funded through the Apprenticeship Levy. Here’s how it works:

• Maintained Schools: Your Local Authority (LA) holds the Apprenticeship Levy account.
• Academies: The Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) is the Apprenticeship Levy account holder.

If you’re unsure how to access or utilise your funding, our team is here to assist with all Apprenticeship Levy-related support.

Our apprenticeship programmes are delivered by experienced tutors across England who visit apprentices every 6 weeks. These visits are designed to:

• Review progress and provide individual support.
• Offer guidance throughout the apprenticeship to ensure successful completion.

Our apprenticeships are taught through a blended learning model, combining:

• Monthly online webinars for flexibility.
• Online resources and coursework to ensure comprehensive learning.
• Regular tutor visits to provide hands-on support.
• Apprentices are also encouraged to maintain an online journal to reflect on their learning and apply it to their practice.

As a work-based training programme, up to 20% of an apprentice’s working week is dedicated to development and training. This ensures that practical application of learning happens alongside day-to-day work in the classroom.

Upon completion of the apprenticeship coursework, an external company conducts an End Point Assessment (EPA) to assess apprentices’ overall competency and readiness to progress in their careers.
