If your business has an annual payroll bill of more than £3m you will already be paying the apprenticeship levy. This money can be used to fund apprenticeship training and any money not spent reverts to the government.

Once your levy fund has been spent, or if you have a PAYE bill of less than £3m, the government pays 95% of the apprenticeship cost and you pay the remaining 5%. For the Digital Marketer standard this means the maximum you will be asked to pay is £550 per apprentice towards the cost of their training.

The biggest cost to hiring an apprentice is their salary. Although minimum wage for apprentices is £4.15 per hour, we’d recommend a salary of £12,000 to £18,000 per annum for a Digital Marketer to attract the right people to your role.

You can also take advantage of a £1,000 incentive payment from the government if your apprentice is aged 16-18 or 19-24 with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan.

On top of this, the government has introduced Covid response incentives, valid for starts until 31st January 2021. This entitles you to an additional £2,000 when you employ an apprentice aged 16-24 or £1,500 if the apprentice is over 25.

We are Digital Native. Our passion is partnering with businesses to nurture and grow great digital talent. We work with employers to build apprenticeship programmes that give both apprentices and businesses the skills they need to grow.

We live in a world with an abundance of free and easily accessible online courses, but the digital skills gap is still widening every year. We believe that courses alone don’t make better people and knowledge is not the same as skills.

That’s where our industry expert coaches come in. Their job is to support apprentices through the programme, sharing their extensive experience and helping apprentices apply what they’ve learned to become better employees. Our coaches are our best asset, but don’t take our word for it – read what our apprentices say.

Our digital apprenticeships provide training to address the most common skills gaps in CIOs digital strategies, enabling apprentices to access careers such as:

• Data Analyst
• Data Scientist
• Software Developer
• Software Tester
• Business Analyst
• Digital Marketer
• Infrastructure Technician

Whether you’re a student looking for post A-level or degree employment options, an SME remedying a skills gap or a blue-chip upskilling a team, we can help.

We’ll work with you to identify what you’re looking for, hand pick the most relevant courses and provide an industry expert coach to support you at every stage of the journey. We deliver programmes across the UK through a blend of online learning and face to face delivery.
