Getting Started with an Apprenticeship

How much does it cost?

The cost of the apprenticeship is partly funded by both the Government and the employer. Ask Derwent Training how the funding rules will apply to your business – there are no training costs to be paid by the apprentice.

You will be expected to pay for your travel method to attend Derwent Training for any face-to-face delivery.

Apprenticeship Wage

What you earn as an apprentice will depend on your age, the apprenticeship standard and the location of the employer.

If you are 16-18, or 19 or over and in the first year of your apprenticeship then you may be entitled to the National Apprenticeship Minimum Wage. Many employers do pay more than this but as you are their employee it is their decision. You must be paid for:

your normal working hours
training that is part of your apprenticeship (at least 20% of your normal working hours)
study towards English and Maths qualifications, if they are part of your apprenticeship.
