Apprenticeship support vouchers

The apprenticeship support scheme will support those nearing the end of their plumbing/heating apprenticeship to become skilled with one or more renewable technologies. The apprenticeship support vouchers are worth up to £2,500(including VAT). A maximum of five vouchers per company will be available. To be eligible the company must be a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME). If an apprentice has already chosen to take the “renewable technology” pathway, they can apply to extend the number of technologies within that pathway and use the funding to support that training. If an apprentice has already selected a non-renewable pathway such as oil or gas, they can still apply and use the funding to take one or more of the QCF units in the renewable technology pathway. Eligible training includes: Understand the fundamental principles and requirements of environmental technology systems Solar thermal (installation & service and maintenance) Heat pump (installation & service and maintenance) Biomass [solid fuel] (installation & service and maintenance) In addition applications can be made from apprentices to support them in other ways, such as the provision of learning materials and, if required, assistance to enable them to access work types that they may require to complete their apprenticeship programme.
