Levy-paying employers have 100% of course costs covered by their apprenticeship levy funds.
For non-levy payers the government funds 95% of the course, with the employer contributing 5%. Sometimes, the 5% can be covered through a levy transfer or because of the apprentice’s age which means there are no training costs at all.
There is no cost to the candidate who does the course.
The transport warehouse operations supervisor apprenticeship opens doors to a range of transport management roles. On completion, individuals could progress onto even higher level leadership or management apprenticeships.
Our enrolment process is straightforward. Once they have the approval of their employer, the participant:
- completes an online application form
- undertakes some online assessments
- attends an onboarding call with the TRS enrolment officer
After this, training begins.
To start an apprenticeship, individuals must be 16 or over, living in England, and have the right to work in the UK. They must not be in full-time education when the apprenticeship begins.
Apprentices need to be employed and earning a wage, whether as a new recruit or an existing employee being upskilled. The role they’re in must be directly relevant to the apprenticeship and allow them to develop and practice the required skills.
They cannot be enrolled on another funded apprenticeship or DfE-funded programme at the same time.
