Frequently Asked Questions.
How does ANS Academy benefit my business?
We provide skilled, industry-ready apprentices who bring fresh perspectives and hands-on experience to your team.
How do apprenticeships work?
Apprentices must spend at least 20% of their time on off-the-job training. This training can take various forms, such as regular day release, block release, or special training days. It must be directly relevant to the apprenticeship framework or standard and can cover practical aspects like shadowing, mentoring, and industry visits. On-the-job training complements this by helping apprentices develop specific workplace skills.
What are the benefits of hiring apprentices?
Hiring an apprentice is a productive way to grow talent and develop a motivated, skilled, and qualified workforce. Employers who have an established apprenticeship programme reported that productivity in their workplace had improved by 76% whilst 75% reported that apprenticeships improved the quality of their product or service.
Can I offer apprenticeships to existing staff members?
Absolutely! Apprenticeships can be used to upskill and develop your current workforce. Offering apprenticeships to existing staff members helps retain talent and boosts loyalty.
How much will an apprenticeship cost my business
The cost varies depending on the level of apprenticeship and the funding available. But it is simply a low-cost way to get long form training. Some costs may be covered by government funding or the apprenticeship levy. You can find out more by checking out the DFEs information on employing apprentices.
What, as a business, can we do to get the best out of apprentices?
Mentoring is crucial for apprentices’ success. Businesses should assign experienced mentors to guide apprentices, provide feedback, and help them integrate into the workplace.
What sets ANS Academy apart?
We offer a unique blend of academic rigor and practical experience within a collaborative environment.
Can ANS Academy cater to specific job roles?
