At Croydon College, we work hand-in-hand with employers to deliver high-quality apprenticeship programmes that benefit both your business and the apprentice

Why Choose Apprenticeships?

Apprenticeships offer a practical, results-driven way to:

Whether you’re growing your team or investing in staff development, we’re here to support you at every step. 

Funding Made Simple 

Apprenticeships are more accessible than you might think. Here’s how it works: 

🔹 Large employers (annual wage bill over £3 million) 
You’ll use your Apprenticeship Levy to fund training. 

🔹 Smaller employers 
At least 95% of training costs are funded by the government. 
If the apprentice is aged 16–21, training is often fully funded

You could also receive £1,000 in government support (paid in two instalments) depending on the apprentice hired. 

For more info on funding, visit Apprenticeship funding rules – GOV.UK or speak with us directly.
