Questions from St Albans employers

Is AI apprenticeship training really funded for St Albans 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 in St Albans?

AI Data Practitioner Level 3 fits the local sector mix most closely, because professional and technical runs at 1.47 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 St Albans or is it online?

Training is delivered online by approved, APAR registered partners, so staff in St Albans take part without travelling.

How long does it take to find out if we qualify?

Send your details and we come back with the funding position and the course that fits. There is nothing to pay to find out.
