EMPLOYER GUIDES

Everything you need to train someone

Thinking about taking on an apprentice or trainee — or formalising training for someone you already employ? This is the whole picture in five short reads: how it works, what you do, what we do, and what it costs. Start anywhere.

The journey end to end — six steps from first question to qualified tradesperson.

Understanding apprenticeships

What it is, who does what, your role as coach and mentor, and who can do one.

Apprenticeship structure

The training agreement, the training plan, assessments, support, and certificates.

Onboarding checklist, pastoral care, cultural competency, legal obligations, the payoff.

Being a workplace mentor

The GROW model, VARK, time, feedback, the code of ethics, and mentoring checklists.

Apprentice guide to success

For your apprentice — what to expect, assessments, support, and finishing strong.

Enrol someone you already have. Three minutes, then your training advisor takes over.
