Understanding the programme

What Are Apprenticeship Units?

Apprenticeship Units are shorter, targeted training programmes focused on specific workplace skills. They are designed to complement full apprenticeships — not replace them.

Employers can use these units to address immediate skills gaps, increase workforce capability, and improve productivity without the long-term commitment of a complete apprenticeship. Funding is accessed through the Growth and Skills Levy.

Upskill existing staff Address skills gaps Boost productivity Flexible delivery

"These units give us the agility to upskill our welders and fitters precisely where we need it — without taking them out of production for months."

— Engineering Employer, West Midlands
