Questions from Lichfield employers
Is AI apprenticeship training really funded for Lichfield employers?
Government funding can potentially cover the full training cost for small employers. You pay the apprentice's wage. Funding is subject to eligibility and is confirmed before anyone enrols.
Can we put existing staff through it, or does it have to be a new hire?
An apprenticeship works for someone already on your payroll, and often suits them better than a new starter.
Which course suits employers in Lichfield?
AI and Automation Practitioner Level 4 fits the local sector mix most closely, because transport and storage runs at 1.74 times the national share here. We confirm the right fit before enrolment.
How much time does the apprentice need away from the job?
Off the job learning is part of every apprenticeship. It is planned around the working week rather than taking someone out of the business in a block.
Do you deliver in Lichfield or is it online?
Training is delivered online by approved, APAR registered partners, so staff in Lichfield take part without travelling.
How long does it take to find out if we qualify?
Give us the basics and we confirm the funding position. No charge for the check.
