Questions from Dover employers
Is AI apprenticeship training really funded for Dover 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.

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

AI and Automation Practitioner Level 4 fits the local sector mix most closely, because transport and storage runs at 2.13 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.
