This page contains information about apprenticeships at SGS.
Learners Employers Smart Assessor Funding and IncentivesWe can support all the business-critical functions within a large employer – so only need to work with one provider, one account manager.
All SGS apprenticeships are directly delivered by SGS, giving responsiveness, consistency, accountability and control of quality.
We have designed a Customer Service pathway with administration content, to plug the gap left by removal of the Business Administration Level 2 Framework. Many employers used the BA 2 as an entry level apprenticeship, with the apprentice then progressing into Level 3 admin, or IT or Finance. Our Customer Service – Admin Pathway fills this niche for employers.
We now have significant additional incentive payments available for employers of all sizes who engage in apprenticeships.
These payments are in addition to the existing £1000 incentive payment for taking a 16-18 year old apprentice (or a care-leaver or 16-24 year old with an Education and Health Care Plan, EHCP), so you can now receive £3000 for a 16-18 year old apprentice!
