Apprenticeships information for employers and training providers

For employers

Modern Apprenticeships help you develop a skilled, loyal workforce. The SVQ at the core of each apprenticeship gives you confidence that your apprentice can do the job to a nationally recognised standard.

Apprentices learn on the job, so there's no time lost to off-site training. Many employers find that apprentices trained this way stay with the business longer.

For training providers

SVQs offer a flexible, practical framework you can deliver across diverse settings — including rural and remote areas. The qualification is robust, nationally recognised, and designed to meet real industry needs.
