An Apprenticeship Levy-funded programme is a government-funded apprenticeship. On completion, you’ll receive your relevant apprenticeship qualification.
An Enterprise programme is commercially funded by your employer. On completion, you'll receive a certificate to recognise all the hard work you have done on your programme.
Select ‘Yes’ if the education or training provider you’re completing the course with describes it as full time. If you attend a full time course on a part time basis, this is still considered to be full time.
Select ‘No’ if the education or training provider you’re completing the course with describes it as part time.
In your enrolment form, you will complete the Learning Style Check. This is a cognitive assessment tool designed to help us understand how you learn best, and to determine if you would benefit from additional support or adjustments to succeed on the programme. This is not a test or a diagnostic tool, and there is no pass or fail. It takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.
You’ll engage with a series of games covering reasoning, memory, perception, problem-solving, and verbal skills. Some will be self-paced, others timed.
If your Learning Style Check indicates that you would benefit from additional support, your coach or one of our Learning Support Leads will discuss this with you.
Have a question about the Learning Style Check? Our team is here to help, contact our Learning Support Team: send@futuretalentlearning.com
I’m not sure how to answer the question ‘Have you previously undertaken any government funded training’.
Government funded training can take many forms, including:
• Another apprenticeship in any subject area
• Any study funded by a student loan or student finance
If you have part-completed or fully completed a previous apprenticeship at any time answer 'Yes' to this question.
If you have had any training that involved government assistance (even if this assistance is being/has been repaid), answer ‘Yes’ to this question.
Undertaking an apprenticeship requires dedication. If you’re already studying on another course, or plan to do so whilst on the TMP, you may find it challenging to balance both activities. We want to ensure that you’ve carefully considered your capacity before enrolling in order to thrive on the programme.

Your Knowledge, Skills & Behaviours Assessment is a form which involves you assessing yourself to identify your current level of knowledge and understanding linked to key areas of the programme. Your coach will discuss (moderate) the scores with your and your Line Manager to asses programme eligibility. Once moderated, the outcomes will enable your coach to adapt your programme of study to support you and your individual development needs.
It’s important to be as open as possible about any health matters or additional learning needs you may have right from the start so that we can tailor your learning experience. Learning needs don’t have to be diagnosed for you to receive support. Please share these on your enrolment form and if you’re not sure, have a chat with your enrolment coach.
We provide in-house additional learning support and work with Support Connect to refer learners who have additional learning needs. This ensures learners have access to the necessary support and advice to help them succeed on the programme.
The Initial Assessments are a required component set by the Department for Education which all learners need to complete. The online Initial Assessment evaluates your current working level of English and maths. Please don’t rush your answers; this will ensure an accurate assessment outcome.
It’s important for you to complete these Initial Assessments as they will help your coach to determine if you require any further support with your learning journey.
What happens if I score below Level 1 in my initial assessments in either maths or English at the application stage?
Sadly, individuals who score Entry Level (i.e. below Level 1) will find it too much of a challenge to complete the programme. In this case, we recommend you visit one of the sites below where you can find English and maths Functional Skills support to help you to gain confidence in operating at a Level 1 standard or higher (some are free).
Once you are confidently operating at a Level 1 standard, you are welcome to re-apply for the programme. Often it takes just a few months to move from Entry Level 3 to a Level 1 standard of competency.
If you score below Level 1 in the initial assessments and have an additional learning need, a specific learning difficulty or a disability which may impact your learning you may still be able to enrol and complete the programme, as we can put in place additional support for you. Please discuss this with your coach if this applies to you.
You will be asked on your enrolment form if you have achieved GCSEs (grades A* - C/ 4 - 9), A-levels or equivalent, or higher qualifications in English and / or maths. If you haven’t achieved these qualifications, you will have the option to take Functional Skills qualifications in English and/or maths, (with your employer's agreement).
Note - If you already hold GCSEs or equivalent qualifications, you aren’t eligible to receive funding for Functional Skills, as the government doesn’t provide funding for qualifications that have already been achieved.
Functional Skills qualifications in English and maths are incredibly useful qualifications if you do not already have GCSE grades A-C/ 4-9 or equivalent. Functional Skills in English and maths, at level 2, build your English and maths skills to the same level as GCSE grade A-C/ 4-9 and are nationally recognised qualifications. They are shorter than GCSEs and are routed in the functional use of English and maths rather than the academic use of it.
During your Enrolment Meeting with your Enrolment Coach, they will:
• Discuss your prior learning
• Talk about additional learning support (ALS)
• Explain the programme structure
• Make recommendations on planning your time to ensure you complete your learning within your working hours
• Ensure you fulfil the Levy-funding requirements (if applicable).
• Show you how to use your Learner Management System (Aptem) and the Events Hub
• Answer any questions you may have
Please rearrange your enrolment meeting by using the FTL Enrolments booking page.

Please note that you won’t be able to start the programme until you’ve attended your enrolment meeting as your line manager will need to sign some key documents live in the meeting.
If your weekly contracted hours are 30 or more, you are expected to complete 4.5 hours of formal blocked learning time per week, with the remaining learning achieved through applied learning.
If you work fewer than 30 contracted hours per week, the programme will be extended to ensure the full content can be delivered and that adequate time is available to complete all training. Your coach will calculate your off-the-job-training hours and extend your programme duration on a pro-rata basis during your enrolment.
