Employers: What is an Apprenticeship?

Previous Page

Bringing on an apprentice is an excellent way to welcome motivated individuals who bring enthusiasm and innovative perspectives to your team.

At Dental Training Ltd, we provide flexible training directly, minimizing disruption while maximizing benefits.

Hiring apprentices brings fresh ideas and fosters loyalty, as they often feel committed to their first opportunity in the dental field.

Apprenticeships offer great value, especially for non-levy employers who pay only 5% of course costs, with the government covering the rest.

Small and medium-sized enterprises with fewer than 50 employees can access free training for apprentices aged 16-21, and employers also receive a £1,000 incentive for each apprentice aged 16-18.

Employers can pay the minimum apprenticeship wage for the first year, making it a cost-effective option.

Course fees are the employer's responsibility, but with financial incentives and government support, it's a valuable investment.

To ensure success, apprentices must have an employment contract and dedicate 20% of their time to off-the-job training, which includes mandatory webinars.

There are no workplace observations required, simplifying the process while ensuring your practice benefits from trained dental professionals with minimal disruption.
