Develop new skills while working in a paid role.
An apprenticeship gives you the opportunity to develop new skills while working in a paid role. You apply what you learn at work, build experience and receive support as you progress.
Alongside your job, structured training helps you develop the knowledge, practical skills and professional behaviours a role needs. At the end there’s an independent assessment — called end-point assessment — where you show what you’ve learned. What each programme includes, and what you achieve at the end, depends on the apprenticeship, so we’ll explain it clearly for yours.
Apprenticeships aren’t only for school leavers. Many of our learners are already in work and use an apprenticeship to grow in their current role or step up to the next one.
Talk to us and your manager about whether an apprenticeship fits your role. We’ll check suitability together and explain what’s involved for you both.
Start with a vacancy. Register your interests and we’ll tell you about suitable roles, or talk to us about your options first.
Every apprenticeship follows the same broad path, so you always know what’s coming next.
Look at the subject areas and tell us what interests you.
We discuss your role, your goals and whether an apprenticeship is the right route.
We assess your prior learning so you start at the right point and don’t repeat what you can already do.
The job needs to give you the time and opportunities to learn what the apprenticeship covers.
You, your employer and Talnova agree how and when learning will happen.
We complete the paperwork with you and you get access to your Talnova learning account.
You attend sessions, complete tasks and meet your tutor regularly to review how you’re getting on.
Your tutor helps you get ready for end-point assessment, so you know what to expect.
We talk about where you could go next — further learning, more responsibility or a new direction.
An apprenticeship is a partnership. Here’s what we’ll ask of you — and we’ll support you with every part of it.
Join your training sessions and progress reviews, or let your tutor know in advance if you can’t.
Use the training time agreed with your employer for learning activities.
Work through the activities your tutor sets and ask when something isn’t clear.
Keep records of what you’ve done at work that show your skills developing.
Tell us early if something is getting in the way. Most problems are easier to solve early.
Practise and review with your tutor so you go into your assessment ready.
These are areas Talnova has delivered or is developing. Whether a programme is open for new starts depends on the programme, its current funding rules, your role and where you live and work — so please talk to us before you plan around one.

Funding rules change. Some programmes are no longer funded for new starts even though existing apprentices continue to completion. We’ll always tell you the current position for your programme.
Yes. An apprenticeship is a real job, so you’re employed and paid by your employer. Pay and conditions are set by the employer and must meet the legal requirements for apprentices.
It depends on the programme and on what you already know. We’ll give you a realistic timescale for yours once we’ve looked at your experience.
Good — we’ll recognise it. Assessing your prior learning means your programme focuses on what’s genuinely new for you.
Tell us as early as you can. We can discuss reasonable adjustments, help with English, maths and digital skills where needed, and support for your wellbeing.
That depends on you, your experience and the opportunities available. Some people take on more responsibility, some go on to further learning and some change direction. We can’t guarantee a particular job or salary, but we’ll help you plan your next step.
