A. What is the Trailblazer apprenticeship?
The Government sets the funding caps via the SFA (Skills Funding Agency) – there are no ‘fees’. The Company chooses how they wish to train their apprentices and then claims back the costs. To know more about this, please contact us at [email protected]
B. What are the fees for the qualification?
You can be a part of Trailblazer scheme by employing apprentice and committing to training. To know more about this, please contact us at [email protected]
