We work with you to make sure that you get the most out of the government funding which is available for new and existing employees. By partnering with you we create training solution that is aligned with you business needs and challenges.
AlphaQ works exclusively in the financial services, professional services and insurance sector. Our apprenticeship programmes are designed for, and focussed solely on, these industries.
This means that your employees receive the most relevant and relatable training experience to your industry. In turn, this means that you get the best value from the training.

using the full amount of their levy pot
and this is lost after two years.
AlphaQ can help you implement
a programme to effectively utilise
this funding.

Apprenticeships are work-based training programmes, which will include most of the following elements:
Coaching sessions
Each apprentice has his or her own Skills Coach throughout the programme to help them on the learning journey.
Work-based mentors
The mentor is normally the line manager and will assist the apprentice by giving him or her an opportunity to apply everything learnt as part of the apprenticeship.
SME presentations
We work with you to find internal subject matter experts, or external guest speakers to complement the training progamme and ensure it develops the business skills that you need.
Building a portfolio of CPD activities
The apprentices will build a portfolio of evidence over the course of the programme to demonstrate the skills that have been acquired.
Webinars
The programme can include webinars to complement the training programme and contextualise everything that has been learnt from your organisation's perspective.
Online learning
Where appropriate, the training programme will include access to a library of e-learning content to complement the classroom workshops and allow participants to acquire knowledge at their own pace.
Workshops
The workshops are an opportunity to deliver the knowledge specified in the apprenticeship. The exact number and duration will depend on your requirements and the exams or knowledge modules specified in the standard.
Shadowing work colleagues
Learning new skills by shadowing work colleagues can count towards the "off the job" training requirement of the apprenticeship.
Attending conferences and events
Attending industry events can count towards the "off the job" training requirement of the apprenticeship.
Reflective journal
The apprentice will record his or her learning journey as part of the portfolio of evidence to show how learning has been applied in the workplace.
Assignments
Assignments may be formal and relate to a qualification or may be informally set to help apprentices demonstrate their understanding.
