Who is The Apprentice and Training Partnership (The ATP)?
The ATP is an Apprenticeship Provider that works with large organisations across the Corporate and Public sectors. We specialise in Technology, Analysis, Project and Leadership apprenticeships so that we can deliver excellence in these specific areas.
We provide first-class apprenticeship opportunities and training whether you are seeking to launch your career in one of these specialist areas or improve your skills and scope of opportunity within an existing position.
What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is industry designed, training delivered as a collaboration between your employer and the Training Provider comprising of on-the-job and off-the-job training over a set period of time. On completion you achieve a nationally recognised vocational qualification along with other qualifications, certifications and even additional English, Maths and ICT where it is beneficial or needed.
For more information on the delivery and assessment of your chosen apprenticeship career, please visit the ‘Apprenticeships’ section.
How much can I get paid?
One of the main benefits of choosing an apprenticeship is that you get paid whilst working towards your qualifications. The amount you get paid can depend on your age, existing qualifications, and employer but as a good guide apprentices typically earn between the National Minimum or Living Wages set by the Government. Remember it is a training opportunity first and foremost and if you are earning under £11,850 per annum, you don’t pay any income tax on your wages!
Will my salary change if I am already employed and take an apprenticeship to improve my skills?
We provide apprenticeships to numerous existing employees who are using apprenticeships as a means of upskilling. In every instance taking an apprenticeship has not affected the employee’s remuneration.
How is the training delivered?

How long does an apprenticeship take?
The apprenticeships we deliver can take as little as one year or can run for up to four years if you were to complete a Level 3 and Level 4 apprenticeship back-to-back! Each apprenticeship duration is set to provide the greatest career benefit to you along with considering the needs of your employer. The duration is agreed with you before you start.
What do the apprenticeship levels mean?
Apprenticeships come in different levels. Your chosen career path and previous qualifications or training you have received can determine which level of apprenticeship you take. Many employers offer progression from one level to another. Level 3 Advanced apprenticeship = 2-3 A Levels Level 4 Higher apprenticeship = HNC or Diploma / First Year Bachelor’s Degree Level 5 = Second Year Bachelor’s Degree Level 6 = Bachelor’s Degree with Honours as part of our service we assess and ensure that you are placed on the right level of apprenticeship to suit you.
Who can do an apprenticeship?
You have to be over 16 years of age and have eligibility to live and work in the UK. There is no upper age limit. You have been resident legally within the EU for a minimum of 3 years.
How does the application process work?
