Before you start

How does the assessment decide?

Seven questions mapped to the ST1512 standard: where time is lost, which systems your teams use, how technical they are, cohort size and timing. The answers point to the standard 15-month route, the 8-month accelerated closed cohort, or a leadership edition such as AI for Team Leaders. Scoring runs in your browser; no email is required.

What happens after?

Take the result to a 30-minute call via the contact form, or send prospective learners to the learner readiness check so you can see both sides before you commit.

How is it funded?

Fully through the Apprenticeship Levy for levy payers. Non-levy employers pay 5% (£900) for apprentices aged 25 and over, and nothing for apprentices aged 16 to 24. The funding band is £18,000. Funding explained.
