Funding & Employer Incentives
Employers hiring apprentices can benefit from several financial incentives:
£1,000 Grant – If the apprentice is 16-18 years old, the employer receives £1,000 from the Department for Education (DfE).
Up to £8,500 CITB Grant – If the employer is a CITB levy payer, they can receive up to £8,500 in apprenticeship funding from CITB.
Government Funding for Apprenticeships – Employers pay nothing for apprentices aged 16-21, as the government covers the full cost. Employers pay just 5% of apprenticeship fees for apprentices aged 21+, with the government funding the remaining 95%
End Point Assessment (EPA)
Once your portfolio reaches 100% completion, you will take your EPA, confirming your skills and knowledge. This consists of:
- A two-day assessment, typically involving a brickwork project, such as building an arch or a structural wall (subject to awarding body requirements)
- A practice EPA, held at our training facility in Basingstoke, Hampshire, to prepare you for success
- Final certification – Upon passing, you’ll receive your EPA certificate, allowing you to apply for a Blue CSCS Card
