How it works

  4. An approved, APAR registered partner delivers the training around the working week.

Is this right for you?

A good fit if

  • You employ people around Hackney and want them more capable with AI tools
  • You would rather the training cost was funded than paid out of profit
  • You can give someone protected study time during the week
  • You want a recognised Level 3 or Level 4 qualification at the end

Not for you if

  • You want a one day course. These run over months.
  • You want a certificate without the work. There is an assessment.
  • You cannot release anyone for off the job learning
  • You want consultancy rather than training a person

Questions from Shoreditch employers

Is AI apprenticeship training really funded for Shoreditch 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 around Hackney?

IT and Cloud Practitioner Level 3 fits the local sector mix most closely, because information and communication runs at 3.49 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 Shoreditch or is it online?

Training is delivered online by approved, APAR registered partners, so staff across Hackney 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.
