  • You want consultancy rather than training a person

Questions from Doncaster employers

Is AI apprenticeship training really funded for Doncaster employers?

For small employers the training cost is potentially met in full by government funding. The wage is yours to pay. Eligibility is confirmed before enrolment.

Can we put existing staff through it, or does it have to be a new hire?

Existing team members are eligible. Developing someone who knows the business usually goes further.

Which course suits employers in Doncaster?

AI and Automation Practitioner Level 4 fits the local sector mix most closely, because transport and storage runs at 2.45 times the national share here. We confirm the right fit before enrolment.

How much time does the apprentice need away from the job?

Every apprenticeship includes protected learning time. It is spread across the working week, not taken as a block.

Do you deliver in Doncaster or is it online?

Training is delivered online by approved, APAR registered partners, so staff in Doncaster take part without travelling.
