Opening September 2024, the centre will be Cheltenham’s thriving training hub for construction and trade courses. It will feature 10 plumbing bays, 12 electrical bays, and 20 bays for carpentry, as well as bespoke classrooms.
Both full-time courses and apprenticeships will be taught at the centre, giving students the chance to get hands-on with industry standard equipment. From September 2024, Cheltenham Campus will offer training in electrical installation, carpentry and property maintenance.
Apprenticeship funding for your business
Whether you're a levy payer or not, employees aged 16-18 are fully funded by the government and you'll receive a £1,000 grant.
For levy payers:
All employers with a wage bill of over £3 million per annum are required to pay 0.5% of their total wage bill into the Apprenticeship Levy. The Levy can be used to train new and existing staff through Apprenticeship Training. At the end of the financial year, the levy resets - so use it or lose it.
For non-levy payers:
Non-levy payers can take advantage of Government funding with 95% of course costs funded. You'll only need to contribute 5% to the cost of apprenticeship training.
