Why use an Apprenticeship Systems Managed Service with Hawk Training?
As an Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ provider with over 30 years’ experience in the sector, we are experts in apprenticeship delivery. We know all too well the challenges providers can face when embarking on apprenticeship delivery for the first time.
Most providers, including employer providers, want their focus to be on the delivery of their apprenticeship provision and not on all the other administrative burdens that come with it.
Hawk Training has a track record of supporting Employer Providers and existing Main Providers to ensure that their apprenticeship data is fully managed and compliant in line with ESFA audit requirements. We can also advise you on the different systems involved in apprenticeship delivery and help you set up your data management and funding processes.
