A Training Provider Focused on Professional Excellence
Pitman Training has built its reputation by delivering structured, career-focused training. This helps individuals achieve recognised professional qualifications. We use the same careful approach for apprenticeships. This ensures your employees gain real workplace skills, not just theoretical knowledge. Our programmes support employers looking for long-term growth, better retention, and measurable returns on investment.
Apprenticeship Funding & Employer Return on Investment
If you’re a smaller employer, government funding can cover 95% to 100% of apprentice training costs. If you’re a levy-paying employer, you can use levy funds to pay for apprenticeship training.

How long do apprenticeship programmes last?
Apprenticeship programmes typically last between 18 and 24 months, depending on the apprenticeship standard and the training structure. Each programme is built around a nationally recognised apprenticeship standard, which defines the skills, knowledge and behaviours the apprentice must develop during the training period.
How does our team supports employers during an apprenticeship?
Pitman Training delivers the structured learning programme, provides guidance to the apprentice and manages programme administration. Regular tripartite progress reviews are held involving the apprentice, the employer and Pitman Training to review progress against the apprenticeship standard, provide feedback and ensure the apprentice is developing the required skills in the workplace.
