Non-Destructive Testing

“It’s hugely beneficial that Skills Training UK is working with our existing training school partners and that the chosen Apprenticeship Standard includes all of the specialist testing methods that we use within our business. As a result, we’ve been able to tailor the delivery to suit our direct needs.” Ricardo Franckeiss, Training Manager, Sheffield Forgemasters International Ltd

business needs and flexible to suit your day-to-day operations

The Levy and SME funding

• Costs are spread out across the duration of the Apprenticeship and not

paid for up front

• Levy funds will begin to expire 24 months after they enter your digital

account.

• As costs are spread across the duration of the Apprenticeship, they will

take more time than you think to spend!

• If you spend more than your Levy pot the additional spend will be co-

funded by government, meaning you will pay just 10% on extra training

• SMEs benefit from government co-funding and only have to fund 10% of

the Apprenticeship cosy
