Questions from Eastwood employers
Is AI apprenticeship training really funded for Eastwood employers?
The training is government funded for the majority of small employers. You cover the salary. We check eligibility first.

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.
