    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
    United Learning
    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!

    How does funding work?

    The Multi-Channel Marketer apprenticeship has a total cost of £11,000. However, before you have a panic attack, here’s the exciting part: There are different ways of funding apprenticeships depending on your organisation. There are two primary routes for funding: Co-Investment and Levy Contributions.

    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!

    Who can you hire

    So, what would you end up paying?

    Here are three quick examples of how apprenticeship funding works for non-profits:

    Smaller Non-Profits (Under 50 Employees)
    Hire a 16-21-year-old, and the UK government fully funds the apprenticeship—you just cover their salary (£15,000 – £20,000) with no NI contributions. If they’re 16-18, you also get a £1,000 incentive.

    Medium Non-Profits (50+ Employees)
    If you hire a 22+ year-old or have 50+ employees, you’ll pay just 5% of the apprenticeship cost—typically £475 – £550.

    Larger Non-Profits (£3m+ Payroll)
    With a £3m+ annual payroll (about 100+ employees), you can fund apprenticeships using your Levy contributions.
