Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between upskilling staff and hiring an apprentice?
Upskilling staff involves training your existing employees to develop new skills, while hiring an apprentice brings in a new team member who learns on the job while completing formal training.
Is it better to upskill current staff or hire an apprentice?
This depends on your business needs. Upskilling is ideal if you already have staff in place who can grow into new roles, while apprenticeships are a great option if you want to bring in new talent and develop skills from the ground up.
How much does it cost to hire an apprentice?
For many employers, apprenticeships are funded through the Apprenticeship Levy or government support. In some cases, training costs are fully covered, meaning you only pay the apprentice’s salary.
Can I upskill my staff using funded training?
Yes, many training programmes are funded or part-funded, making it cost-effective to invest in your current workforce without large upfront costs.
What are the benefits of hiring an apprentice?
Hiring an apprentice allows you to:
- Develop talent specific to your business
- Fill skills gaps
- Improve staff retention
- Build a future workforce
Apprenticeships also combine practical experience with structured learning.
What kind of roles can apprentices be trained for?
As a specialist tech and digital training provider, we place apprentices into high-demand roles such as IT Support Technician, Network Engineer, Digital Marketing Executive, Digital Support Technician, and AI Support Champion, helping businesses build future-ready teams.
How long does an apprenticeship take?
Most apprenticeships last between 12 and 18 months, depending on the level and the role.
Do apprentices need previous experience?
No, apprenticeships are designed for individuals at different entry levels, including those with little or no experience.
Can I train multiple employees at once?
Yes, as a training provider we can support multiple learners at the same time, making it easier to scale training across your team.
