About this topic

Apprenticeships

Our Apprenticeships blog category provides clear, practical guidance for both learners and employers navigating the apprenticeship landscape. Covering everything from how apprenticeships work and funding rules through to programme selection and career progression, this section is designed to simplify what can often be a complex area.

You will find insights into levy and non-levy funding, employer responsibilities, off-the-job training requirements and how to maximise the value of apprenticeship programmes. We also provide advice for individuals considering apprenticeships as a route into or progression within their career.

For employers, we explore how apprenticeships can support workforce development, improve retention and close skills gaps. The content reflects current UK funding rules and best practice across apprenticeship delivery.
