Employers whose CPTAP applications have been approved can now begin workforce planning, whether that's developing existing team members or recruiting new talent ahead of programme start dates.

Big news for independent Pharmacies!

The 100% government-funded apprenticeship scheme is now live for non-levy pharmacy practices - and practices are already taking advantage.

Apprentices aged 16–24 are being enrolled now. You pay the wage; we handle the recruitment, onboarding and training. There is no training cost to you.

We are already working with practices to get their teams enrolled. If you want to grow your team this way, the window is open.
