    My coach was exceptional during my apprenticeship. His extensive knowledge, helpfulness, and down-to-earth approach made my learning experience truly valuable. I highly recommend him as a trainer!

    Mitch was an excellent apprenticeship coach thanks to his realistic perspective on real-world marketing applications. He was always approachable and had a brilliant understanding of working with young apprentices.

    During my Digital Marketing apprenticeship, my coach had a significant impact on my knowledge and skills in the field. He was a true expert, with an engaging teaching style and the ability to break down complex topics into simple steps. He provided personalised feedback which I could apply directly to my role at work as well as to my portfolio, and innumerable support. To me, what set him apart was his dedication to my (and everyone else’s) success – it was clear that he truly wanted the best for us. I couldn’t have asked for a better coach and recommend him wholeheartedly.

    Mitch was a fantastic apprenticeship coach and helped me to achieve my Level 4 DM qualification. He was always patient and helpful and nothing was too much when it came to helping his students. I can’t thank him enough for all the help and experience he gave me when I was starting out in my career!

    Apprenticeship programmes have transformed the hiring process for junior marketing staff for me, offering undeniable benefits such as increased productivity, cost-effectiveness, and fresh perspectives. The apprentices’ willingness to learn injects new life into the team and improves management and marketing skills. Partnering with companies like The Marketing Trainer enhances the success of apprentices, making it a game-changing strategy for businesses.

    The Marketing Trainer has been incredibly helpful in finding two apprentices for us. They have been responsive and excellent at providing a variety of candidates. Although our apprentices have only just started their apprenticeships, they are so far pleased with the support they have received.

    The Marketing Trainer has supported our business by offering apprenticeships in digital marketing and customer care. This has been a great way to scale our business whilst being able to offer opportunities to students who want to learn and succeed in what they are doing within our business. Mitch is an enthusiastic teacher, an excellent communicator, a consummate professional in his field, and importantly was excellent at supporting our apprentices and the businesses’ needs.

    We’ve had a great experience with TMT – they were really proactive in their recruitment and found us the perfect candidate, whose attitude to her work has been second to none. It’s been brilliant to see her progress over the last few months and how she’s been able to apply her learning to her day-to-day tasks, and TMT have been incredibly supportive throughout the whole process.

    Cheryl Cain

    Marketing and Communications Cluster Manager

    I started working with The Marketing Trainer following a recommendation from a colleague when we lost two members of our marketing team. In the past, it had proven difficult to find the right candidates, and we had spent a significant amount of money using recruitment agencies only to be disappointed. The recruitment process was handled by The Marketing Trainer making it stress-free for me and I was quickly presented with a great selection of graduates!  Within a couple of weeks, we had found two amazing individuals. Since then, the support from The Marketing Trainer has been great.  Both of our apprentices have become valued members of our team, have improved our marketing processes, and brought new energy and creativity to our campaigns – we simply couldn’t do without them!

    An employer wondering how apprenticeships work.

    How do they work?

    1. You employ your marketing apprentice as you would any other employee;
    2. You offer your apprentice practical work experience while they receive structured training;
    3. The UK government funds between 95% – 100% of the course costs for you;
    4. We provide monthly training and support to your apprentice and support you in your apprenticeship journey;
    5. And, you end up with a polished marketing professional.

      Courses we offer

      Multi-Channel Marketer

      An entry-level course ideal for those with little to no experience. It lasts for between 13-15 months. It covers all of the foundations of traditional and digital marketing and comes with a free embedded level 3 CIM. Perfect for building your marketing team.

      Market Research Executive

      An intermediate-level course which is ideal for those specifically looking to enter the field of market research. It lasts for between 13-18 months and covers all of the elements that you’d expect a junior market research executive to be involved in.

      Apprenticeship incentives for small businesses

      If you work for or own a small business there are a number of Government incentives in place to help you fund the hiring of apprentices. They include:

      1. If your annual payroll bill is less than £3mil you’ll qualify for something called Co-Investment;
      2. Co-investment means that the UK Government will contribute 95% toward the total cost of your apprenticeship training;
      3. In addition to this, if you have less than 50 members of staff, the government will pay the whole cost of the apprenticeship;
      4. There’s still more to come. If you hire an apprentice who is 16 – 18 years of age, the government will pay you a £1000 incentive to do so.

      So, not only will they pay a majority of your apprenticeship training costs, but there’s a chance they’ll pay all of the costs and even give you money to take on a younger learner!
