About this service
What is Managed Apprenticeships?
Managed Apprenticeships is for businesses that want to employ their apprentice directly, but still want ATT’s support to keep training and pastoral care on track.
Think of us as backup for the parts of an apprenticeship that pull you away from the tools. We stay on top of training progress by keeping in regular contact with your apprentice.
This works well if you’ve already got someone in the business you want to upskill, or you just want to keep the employment relationship simple without wrestling with the apprenticeship system on your own.

Why choose this

Your apprentice is already working in your business, not learning your systems from scratch after they qualify.

ATT is already across the training and pastoral care, so a struggling apprentice doesn't become solely your problem.
No extra workload
You get ATT's support without it turning into a second job on top of running yours.
Expert guidance on hand
ATT knows the apprenticeship system inside out, you don't have to.
Value comparison
Managed vs Going It Alone
A quick side-by-side view of how this service compares with managing the process yourself.
Note: your employment relationship with your apprentice is the same either way. This comparison is about the support you get around it, not who’s the employer.
“The managed apprenticeship service takes all the admin off our plate so we can focus on the job. ATT's coordinator knows our apprentice personally – it makes a real difference.”
