Advice for employers

If you are thinking of taking on an apprentice you will need to choose qualifications that are approved and meet compulsory elements of  a  'Framework'.  As there are numerous options and pathways, you will almost certainly require support from Nital.

The URLs below will direct you to the relevant Sector Skills Councils own framework.  The information will cover qualifications and standards but will not address funding. Once again, please contact Nital for advice in this area.
