What is an apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a blend of a full-time job with training. The apprentice will split their time 80/20. 80% of their working time will be spent carrying out their day-to-day job responsibilities. 20% of their time will be ‘off-the-job’ and spent working towards their apprenticeship qualification.

The new minimum off the-job training requirement for a full-time apprentice is 20% of a 30 hour week (even if the apprentice works more than 30 hours per week); this equates to an average of 6 hours of off-the-job training per week.

Vital to the success of the apprenticeship, the learner has to be actively working towards the standards at least 20% of the time they are paid by you over a minimum duration of 12 months.

Apprenticeship learning route benefits

  • You will have weekly face to face delivery sessions (3.5 hours a week)
  • Employer only has to pay up to 5% of the course cost
  • Apprentices are allocated 20% of their work time to complete the apprenticeship - 10% delivery at Whyy? Change, 10% spent applying the learning in the workplace
  • No additional fees, all costs are included with the apprenticeship (e.g. books, CIM membership & exam fees). We believe strongly in adding value to our learners experience
  • Our expert marketing practitioners will deliver interactive and engaging sessions to guide learners through the CIM modules

Eligibility

At Whyy?, we assess every potential learner to check they’re eligible and will discuss what you’d like to get out of the apprenticeship as well as the learner.

  • Aged 16 or over (no upper age limit)
  • Employed
  • Living in the UK or EU for the past 3 years
  • Learning significant new knowledge, skills and behaviours
  • Not on any other fully-funded training course

Whether they are having direct learning sessions, having meaningful 1-1’s with your marketing team to understand how to fill your skills gaps, or applying their new skills in your workplace through implementing techniques they’ve learned with Whyy?, they require the time to develop and become accomplished Marketing Practitioners over the duration of the apprenticeship…..your business will reap the rewards from this investment of time.

Once the learning has been completed, to assess that they understand and can apply their new knowledge, skills and behaviours, they will be independently assessed through assessment methods that will test them but will prove valuable for their careers in learning and development.

Funding

The Multi-Channel Marketer Apprenticeship costs £11,000. You can get 95-100% funding available so you’ll only have to pay a minimum of 5% (£550). To access this funding, all employers must have a digital apprenticeship account.

I’ve recently completed my Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) Level 4 Digital Marketing Qualification through an apprenticeship. Emma was extremely helpful throughout the onboarding process and explained everything. My tutor was Laura, who answered any question I had and explained the content in multiple ways if I didn’t understand a certain topic. I can’t recommend Whyy? Change enough it was a great environment to learn within. Such a supportive, caring and encouraging environment.
