There is still time to apply for an additional government incentive payment of £3,000 for apprentices with an employment start date from 1 April 2021 to 30 September 2021. Applications close on 30 November 2021.

If you have employed, or are undertaking the process of employing a pre-registration pharmacy technician apprentice(s) that will be in post before the 31st January 2022, you may be able to take advantage of this increased payment (this can be claimed in addition to the funding received from HEE).

The window for claiming is open and is via your apprenticeship service account. You must set up an apprenticeship service account before you can apply. Education leads should liaise with your Trust apprenticeship leads to arrange this.
