No, there is no age restriction on the Apprenticeships; individuals of all ages can apply, as long as they meet the programme's other eligibility criteria.

The Levy is a UK Government initiative that requires employers with a payroll of more the £3 million per year to contribute 0.5% of their total payroll into a fund. This fund is then used to finance apprenticeship programmes, aiming to enhance skills and employment. Any money paid into the Levy Is topped up by the Government by a further 10%.

We uniquely deliver all our Apprenticeships online, using technology for flexible and accessible learning. Our delivery includes:

• Monthly Lecture: Four-hour sessions led by subject experts, recorded for any time access.
• Flexible Assignments and Learning: Through our EOS platform, apprentices’ complete assignments, guided learning, and wider learning activities within each 4-week block, on a schedule that suits both apprentice and employer.
• Personal Support: Every 8 weeks, apprentices receive bi-monthly 1-on-1 reviews with their mentor, with additional sessions available as needed, ensuring tailored support throughout the programme. 

The DAS account is a online portal provided by the UK Government to aid employers with
managing their Apprenticeships. Through this portal, employers can view information on
their levy payments and helps them manage their apprenticeship levy funds.

What is Clear Quality Ltd’s UKPRN?

Clear Quality Ltd is an accredited centre with the NCFE. Although not all our courses have NCFE accreditation, some do. To check if your course is NCFE accredited, please click here - Short Courses | Clear Quality

To be eligible for our apprenticeship, you must be in employment and residing in the UK for the past three years.

There may be funding available for implementing your management system, however, this depends on your industry, the standard you are implementing, the size of your business, location, and the political landscape.

The key difference between UKAS and ASCB, is that ASCB are an independent organisation which means they are not approved or affiliated with Government, nor have they been appointed as, or affiliated with, the UK’s National Accreditation Body UKAS.

However, via Clear Quality Ltd, there is no difference in the level of quality provided with our certification body as we still operate to the 17021 standard that is also required of UKAS certification bodies. 

The choice of accreditation depends largely on the specific requirements of your clients and consumers. Many opt for the UKAS pathway as it is often a prerequisite for becoming an approved supplier.

If you find yourself uncertain about which accreditation best suits your organisations needs, get in touch with us today, our team of experts are here to offer support and guidance in deciding on the route for your organisational objectives.
