Frequently asked questions
How much will this cost me?
The cost of a our apprenticeship varies depending on the specific program, length, and delivery model. However, in most cases apprenticeship programs are funded through the Apprenticeship Levy, which allows employers to access funding for setting up and delivering apprenticeships within their organisations. Our team will be happy to provide detailed pricing estimates based on your specific requirements.
How much support do I need to give?
Employers play an integral role in apprenticeships by providing mentoring and on-the-job learning opportunities. We work in collaboration with Line Managers and apprentices to ensure that all parties feel supported and we deliver positive results for both the learner and employer. We provide a dedicated Placement Coach to support our learners whilst on programme and a Client Partner to support employers, ensuring key landmarks and competencies are achieved.
Can I set my own entry requirements?
Yes, employers can set specific entry requirements for their apprenticeship programs in collaboration with Makers.
Why is the training front loaded?
Front-loaded training ensures apprentices gain essential skills quickly, allowing them to contribute meaningfully to the workplace sooner. This both empowers the learner as they contribute more meaningful work sooner, and benefits the employer as it reduces time spent establishing base level competencies.
