What is a Skills Bootcamp?

A Skills Bootcamp is a government funded employability training offer. Subjects are varied but respond to skills gaps identified from working with employers. A Skills Bootcamp is a minimum 60hr course and open to residents of the UK who are over 19 years old and have the right to work in the UK.

What is an apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is just like a normal job but apprentices spend 20% of their contracted hours training to equip them for their role and future career.

Is it really free?

Apprenticeships are free to the learner, the employer may contribute a small amount to the training.
Skills Bootcamps are also free to the learner – if the learner works full time then their employer contributes 10% of the training if they are a small organisation and 30% if they are a large organisation.
