Question 1

Do you deliver staff training for businesses in Enniskillen?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Rutledge Enniskillen team works with employers in Enniskillen on apprenticeships, NVQs, Essential Skills and short workforce qualifications. Training can be delivered in your workplace, at the branch, or a mix of both.

Question 2

Can we train existing staff, or only new recruits?

Accepted Answer

Both. Existing employees can be enrolled on an apprenticeship where it supports them into a new role or gives them significant new skills. Many Enniskillen employers use it to develop supervisors and team leaders rather than only to bring new people in.

Question 3

What does staff training cost in Enniskillen?

Accepted Answer

Apprenticeship training delivered under ApprenticeshipsNI is funded by the Department for the Economy, so for eligible employees there is no training fee to the employer. Commercial short courses are quoted individually. The Enniskillen team will set out what is funded and what is chargeable before you commit.

Question 4

What subject areas can you cover?

Accepted Answer

Around Enniskillen we deliver Health & Social Care, Hospitality & Catering, Essential Skills. Where a subject sits outside that list we will tell you whether another Rutledge centre can cover it rather than stretching to something we do not do well.

Question 5

How long does it take to set up?

Accepted Answer

Typically two to four weeks from the first conversation to enrolment: a discovery call to confirm eligibility, mapping the role to a qualification, the training agreement, then the first workplace visit by your assessor.

Question 6

Do your tutors come to our workplace?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Assessors and tutors visit employer sites across Enniskillen and the surrounding area for reviews, observations and evidence gathering, so staff spend less time away from the job.

Question 7

We pay the Apprenticeship Levy. Does that help us here?

Accepted Answer

The Apprenticeship Levy is a UK-wide payroll charge, but Northern Ireland does not operate the English digital levy account system. Training here is funded through the Department for the Economy instead. We can talk you through what that means for your paybill and what you can access.
