Questions from Newcastle upon Tyne employers
Is AI apprenticeship training really funded for Newcastle upon Tyne employers?
Small businesses potentially pay nothing towards the training itself, only the wage. We confirm your funding position before anyone starts.

Existing staff can do an apprenticeship. It is often the better option, because they already know your business.

How much time does the apprentice need away from the job?
There is a set amount of learning away from normal duties. It is scheduled around the job rather than in one go.
