What People Say About Us
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 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.
How Does Funding Work?
Smaller Non-Profits
If your organisation’s annual wage bill is under £3 million, you’ll immediately get a 95% discount on apprenticeship costs—yes, 95%! The UK government covers most of the cost if you have fewer than 50 employees.
But it gets even better…
✅ If you have under 50 employees & hire someone 21 or younger, the government covers 100% of the course cost—that’s £11,000!
✅ If you hire a 16-18-year-old, you’ll also get a £1,000 incentive.
Larger Non-Profits
If your organisation’s annual wage bill exceeds £3 million, you’re required to pay 0.5% into a Levy fund to support training and apprenticeships.
But here’s the catch—if you don’t use these funds within 24 months, they’re lost. Every year, thousands of businesses miss out on this opportunity. Make sure that’s not you!

So, What Would You Actually Pay? 💷
Here’s how apprenticeship funding works for charities and non-profits:
✅ Smaller non-profits (under 50 staff)
Hire someone aged 16–21 and the government covers the full training cost — you only pay their salary (£15k–£20k) and no NI contributions. Plus, if they’re 16–18, you’ll receive a £1,000 incentive.
✅ Medium non-profits (50+ staff)
If your apprentice is 22+ or you have 50+ employees, you’ll pay just 5% of the training cost — typically between £475 and £550.
✅ Larger non-profits (£3m+ payroll)
Already paying into the Apprenticeship Levy? You can fund training directly from your Levy pot, with no extra cost.
