Questions from Earley employers
Is AI apprenticeship training really funded for Earley employers?
The training is government funded for the majority of small employers. You cover the salary. We check eligibility first.
Can we put existing staff through it, or does it have to be a new hire?
You can put current employees through it. Many employers prefer that, since the person already knows the work.
Which course suits employers around Wokingham?
IT and Cloud Practitioner Level 3 fits the local sector mix most closely, because information and communication runs at 3.25 times the national share here. We confirm the right fit before enrolment.
How much time does the apprentice need away from the job?
Study time is built in. It is arranged around your working pattern instead of pulling someone out for weeks.
Do you deliver in Earley or is it online?
Training is delivered online by approved, APAR registered partners, so staff across Wokingham take part without travelling.
