- Apprenticeships
Our apprenticeship courses combine technical knowledge with professional and leadership skills to create well-rounded individuals who will help lead your business into the future.
With every apprenticeship, althaus works closely with you to determine the areas of your business that you want to develop, so your apprentice’s study is tailored to your organisation’s unique needs. This means the individual quickly progresses in the areas that your business needs them to, adding measurable value from the outset.
Our courses
Build your business’s essential digital marketing skills, from social media and digital advertising, to branding, copywriting and SEO. A Digital Marketing apprentice can help you attract and retain customers through engaging content creation and targeted marketing, helping to grow your business reach across both online and offline channels.
Improve your business’s operations through faster, more effective IT systems. Our IT apprenticeship programmes teach individuals how to analyse, diagnose and resolve problems, as well as implement and maintain complete IT solutions. Level 3 and 4 programmes available.

Flexible, blended course delivery
Our apprenticeships are delivered through a combination of virtual and face-to-face, collaborative and self-directed learning; an approach designed to maximise apprentice productivity.
We combine live webinars, interactive classroom sessions and extensive on-demand content, supported by an althaus Digital Skills Coach with extensive industry and apprenticeship delivery experience.
Funding your apprenticeship
Apprenticeship programmes are government-funded, with up to 100% funding as well as financial incentives available to help your business benefit from essential digital skills.
The maximum an employer will pay towards an apprenticeship is 5% of the training costs, on top of the apprentice’s salary, which must meet the National Minimum Wage.
In many instances, we can work with our employer partners to access levy transfer funds from larger employers to cover the cost of the training. In all cases, we work hard to make the administrative process as simple as possible, taking the lead to minimise any cost to the employer, as well as the time involved in securing your apprentice.
If your business has less than 50 employees and you’re recruiting an apprentice aged 16-18 years old…
- The government funds 100% of the apprenticeship
- There is no employer contribution
- The employer receives £1,000 incentive
If your business has less than 50 employees and you’re recruiting an apprentice aged 19+…
- The government funds 95% of the apprenticeship
- There is a 5% contribution from the employer*
- The employer doesn’t receive £1,000 incentive
If your business has more than 50 employees…
- The government funds 95% of the apprenticeship
- There is a 5% contribution from the employer*
- The employer receives £1,000 incentive if your apprentice is aged 16-18 years old
*In many cases, we are able to secure the 5% contribution via levy transfer funds from our employer partners. This means that there would be no training costs incurred by the employer.
