Frequently asked questions

If you can’t find the answer to a question, our advisers will be happy to help.

Apprenticeship units are a new government initiative that allow learners to complete one part of an existing apprenticeship instead of the full programme. Built from existing apprenticeship standards, they enable employers to address critical skills gaps faster with targeted, high‑quality learning without committing to a full apprenticeship.
