Questions from Elson employers
Is AI apprenticeship training really funded for Elson 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 Gosport?
AI and Automation Practitioner Level 4 fits the local sector mix most closely, because manufacturing runs at 1.57 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 Elson or is it online?
