Why employers choose NowSkills

Delivering digital apprenticeships since 2013

Why employers choose NowSkills

At NowSkills, everything we do is driven by one core principle: delivering quality outcomes for apprentices and employers. Our programmes don’t just meet standards—they exceed expectations. From confident learners who thrive in the workplace to employers who see measurable impact, our results speak for themselves.

That’s why hundreds of UK organisations choose NowSkills—not just for training, but for a partnership built on excellence, integrity, and long-term success in the digital sector.

Outcomes at the Heart of What We Do

Apprentice success is central to our mission. Every programme we deliver is designed to equip learners with the knowledge, behaviours, and confidence they need to thrive. We don’t just teach technical skills—we nurture professionals who contribute to their teams, take initiative, and grow into future leaders.

Our tutors are experienced industry professionals who challenge and support apprentices throughout their journey. We track progress, celebrate achievements, and ensure every learner is stretched, supported, and set up for success.

Ethical, Values-Driven Training

At NowSkills, we believe in doing the right thing. Our values—taking ownership, fresh thinking, the personal touch, and delivering high-quality apprenticeships—guide everything we do. We embed British values into our teaching, promote inclusivity, and uphold the highest standards in safeguarding, compliance, and learner wellbeing.

Employers choose NowSkills because we’re transparent, accountable, and committed to ethical practice. We don’t cut corners—we build futures.

Funding Support Made Simple

Understanding apprenticeship funding doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re a levy-paying organisation or an SME exploring levy transfers, NowSkills provides clear, expert guidance to help you make the most of available funding.

Built Around Employers

We tailor every apprenticeship to your organisational goals. Our Employer Engagement team works closely with you to match job roles to the right standards, support line managers, and ensure apprenticeships align with your operational needs.

With our blended learning model, you can choose between virtual and classroom-based delivery. And with oversight from our Board of Governors and Quality Assurance team, you can trust that every programme meets rigorous standards.

Recruit New Talent or Enrol Existing Staff

Many employers don’t realise that apprenticeships aren’t just for new hires—they’re also a powerful way to upskill existing employees. At NowSkills, we support both routes:

Recruit a new apprentice: We offer a no-fee recruitment service, helping you attract motivated candidates ready to begin their digital careers. Our team assists with job descriptions, interview tips, and incentive claims, ensuring a smooth hiring process.

Enrol current employees: Apprenticeships are a cost-effective alternative to commercial training. Existing staff can gain substantial new skills through a structured 15–18 month programme, funded through your levy or government co-investment. We’ll guide you through eligibility checks and manage the enrolment process with no added fees.

Whether you’re growing your team or investing in the talent you already have, NowSkills makes it simple to unlock the full potential of apprenticeships.

Customer Satisfaction & Complaints

We’re proud of our high satisfaction ratings—reflected in glowing Trustpilot reviews—but we also know that things don’t always go perfectly. That’s why we have a clear, fair, and accessible complaints procedure in place.

If something goes wrong, we encourage feedback and take every concern seriously. Complaints are investigated promptly and fairly, with responses provided within 10 working days. Our goal is to resolve issues quickly and professionally, ensuring every employer and apprentice feels heard and supported.

NowSkills apprentices are equipped with in-demand digital skills and supported by expert tutors who understand the workplace. Our programmes are designed to align with your goals—whether you’re looking to fill a skills gap, future-proof your workforce, or develop internal talent.

We work with a wide range of organisations—from SMEs to national employers—and consistently hear how our apprentices contribute to real business outcomes. Many go on to lead projects, mentor others, and take on senior roles, delivering lasting impact across departments.
