Got questions? We’ve got answers. Find out everything you need to know about apprenticeships.
An Apprenticeship is a training system which combines practical training, linked to a full-time employed job role. The duration must be at least 12 months in term and offers the opportunity to ‘earn while you learn’ and enable practitioners to gain a qualification within that regulated profession. In the UK this is funded via the Levy and governed by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA).
To dispel any myths that they are only for school leavers, Apprenticeships in the England are available for 16-60-year olds. Not only are they for the support and development of a new generation, they are also available for upskilling existing employees. As long as there is a requirement to learn new Skills, Behaviour and Knowledge, the Apprenticeship route is an option.
With an apprenticeship, learners will gain the knowledge, the skills, and crucially, the industry experience necessary for a successful career.
Apprenticeships are an opportunity to acquire skills and professional experience, but they have a much wider impact. Learners gain confidence in their talents and approach to new situations outside their comfort zone, unlocking a desire to achieve aspirations.
As part of the government’s plan to increase the quantity and quality of Apprenticeships they have introduced a new tax – the Levy.
Commenced on 6th April 2017, the levy applies to all UK employers with a pay bill of £3 million a year in all sector. Approximately 1.3% of employers pay the levy.
Employers have an allowance of £15,000 to offset against their levy payment. This allowance is topped up by 10% by the government and held in a Digital Apprenticeship Service account for a maximum of 24 months. The levy payment is set at 0.5% of an employer’s pay bill, and is paid to HMRC through PAYE.
Since May 2017, Levy funds have been available through a new digital service. Levied employers have been able to buy training since May 2017; funds leave digital account on a monthly basis and will spread over the duration of the apprenticeship. 20% of the total cost will be paid on completion of the apprenticeship.
Non-levied employers can also use the apprenticeship levy to received funding support for Apprenticeships. Non-levy paying employers can share the cost of the Apprenticeship training and assessing with the government with co-investment. Employers will need to pay just 5% of the cost of the Apprenticeship and the government will pay the remaining 95% (up to the funding band maximum). The training must be delivered by an approved provider and the Apprenticeship must be an approved standard. Employers can access this support through the National Apprenticeship Service.
There is no natural pause, as soon as they finish one module a new one is issued and started. All Apprentices should be actively learning throughout their ‘practical period’ until they get to the EPA Gateway. At this point, they start their project.
OFSTED (Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills) is a regulatory body that inspects and regulates services providing education and skills for learners of all ages in England.
The Ofsted ranking is determined through a detailed inspection process, based on a specific framework focusing on quality of education, learner behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. Inspectors conduct on-site observations, review performance data, and engage with staff, learners, and sometimes parents to evaluate the providers effectiveness across these key areas.
Learner Engagement: Apprentices are enthusiastic and enjoy their learning,
Skills Development: There is a focus on developing essential professional skills such as negotiation and teamwork, with apprentices successfully applying these at work,
Support Systems: Apprentices are well-supported, feel safe, and benefit from comprehensive guidance on local and regional risks.
Teaching Quality: Tutors and Mentors are highly qualified, ensuring apprentices benefit from relevant and current teaching methods.
Yes!
If you don’t pay the levy as you are under the pay bill threshold you can still receive funding support for Apprenticeships. Non-levy paying employers can share the cost of the Apprenticeship training and assessing with the government with co-investment. From May 2017 the employer will just need to pay 5% of the cost of the Apprenticeship and the government will pay the remaining 95% (up to the funding band maximum). The training must be delivered by an approved provider and the Apprenticeship must be an approved standard or framework.
Employers can access this support through the National Apprenticeship Service.

The End Point Assessment is the process that takes place after an apprentice have completed their learning and is used to assess whether a learner has met all the knowledge, skills and behaviour element requirements of the apprenticeship standard. The EPA must satisfy a business need and usually involves two elements, for instance, portfolio of evidence, examinations, project reports, professional discussions, presentations, and interviews.
For learners, the EPA showcases their newly acquired knowledge, skills and behaviours to their organisations. EPA raises their profile within their business and accelerates promotion and career development opportunities.
A “Good” rating signifies that the institution provides quality education, care, and safeguarding that meets the needs of all learners. This recognition is vital for parents, students, and the wider community, indicating that the institution delivers a high standard of education.
A “Good” or higher rating is often a key factor for parents when choosing schools for their children, making it a critical marker of trust and quality.

Progress Mentor
Bethanie began her career in the fitness industry, working as a personal trainer and gym instructor before becoming involved in coaching children through a triathlon club. This experience sparked her passion for working with young people and ultimately led her into a career in education. She initially worked in a nursery and later as a one-to-one teaching assistant in a primary school, before completing her teaching qualification and postgraduate studies. Since then, Bethanie has taught in both the private and state education sectors.
Her academic background includes a qualification in Sports Development, Fitness and Coaching at college, alongside a Childhood & Youth undergraduate degree (2:1). These studies have enabled her to combine her interests in sport, education, and child development, shaping her holistic approach to teaching and mentoring.
Bethanie is passionate about supporting learners to achieve their goals — educationally, personally, and in terms of wellbeing. She places strong emphasis on communication and relationship building, and takes great pride in helping individuals build confidence and overcome challenges. One of her proudest achievements has been supporting learners who initially doubted themselves to grow in confidence and achieve success.
Outside of work, Bethanie has always maintained a strong interest in sport. She previously competed in triathlons and now focuses on running and swimming. In 2023, she completed the London Marathon — an achievement she is particularly proud of. She also enjoys spending time outdoors with her family and their two dogs, which is where she is happiest when not working.
Skills Coach
Ola began her career in supply chain within fast-paced warehouse and logistics environments, where she developed a strong understanding of operations and people management. Her journey into the Supply Chain sector wasn’t planned, but through hands-on experience she discovered a passion for improving processes and supporting others – which naturally led her into training and development.
She has progressed through a range of roles across operations, recruitment, and training, including Programme Coach and L&D Lead. She designed and delivered apprenticeship programmes, supporting over 40 learners to successful completion and contributing to strong quality outcomes and inspection success. Her transition into mentoring was driven by a desire to make a direct impact on people’s confidence, growth, and career progression.
Ola’s mentoring style is supportive, structured, and empowering. She combines real operational experience with coaching expertise, helping learners apply knowledge in practical workplace settings. One of her proudest career achievements has been supporting learners who started with low confidence to achieve distinctions and progress into new roles within their organisations. She has also led a UK-wide Mental Health First Aider network, embedding wellbeing into workplace culture and supporting colleagues through challenging situations.
From day one, she shares a consistent message with every learner: “You’re more capable than you think – but you have to be willing to step outside your comfort zone to see it.”
Outside of work, Ola enjoys walking with her Border Collie, Luna, and cross stitching. She recommends Legacy by James Kerr to anyone in supply chain, for its powerful insights into leadership and culture. If she wasn’t working in mentoring and development, she would likely be pursuing a career as a Visual Merchandiser.
