Trade Supplier Apprenticeship: created by wholesalers for wholesalers
A job-focused rigorous programme of training that’s ideal for both new recruits and as a training option for people you already employ.
- The most popular apprenticeship for EDA members: it’s a 12 month apprenticeship standard at Level 2 (that’s GCSE level)
- Packed with £4,000-worth of bespoke training, the Trade Supplier Apprenticeship represents excellent value for money for wholesalers, with non-levy paying businesses contributing between 0% and 5% towards the cost of training and assessment, depending on the age of the apprentice they take on.
- Additional financial incentives may also be available, depending on factors such as the size of the business, the apprentice’s age and whether they have previously been unemployed.
- Businesses can also benefit from savings on Employer National Insurance contributions, as no Employer NI is payable for apprentices under the age of 24, whether they are a recruit or an existing member of staff.
- Pass, Merit or Distinction: Trade Supplier has an End Point Assessment including an observation test, knowledge test and professional discussion
- Available for businesses in England only
