Apprenticeship Standards
At Parenta Training, we are here to help you every step of the way with Apprenticeship Standards.
To secure funding to train your staff or even to recruit a new apprentice, you need what’s called a ‘Government Gateway Apprenticeship Account’ to be able to request funds to pay for your training requirements.

Set up your Government Gateway Account without delay!
We have created easy-to-follow steps to help you through the process.


Follow these few simple instructions to create a Government Gateway ID for your setting
- Go to HMRC’s website here
- Click the GREEN sign-in button
- Click “Create sign-in details”
- Enter your email address where asked
- You will now be emailed a confirmation code. Use this code to confirm your email address
- You will now be issued with a User ID for your Government Gateway account
- Please save this and keep it somewhere safe because losing it can create a lot of work in the future

Once you receive your Government Gateway ID, please create an account to manage your apprenticeships
You’ll use your account to:
- Get apprenticeship funding
- Find and save apprenticeships
- Find, save and manage training providers
- Recruit apprentices
- Add and manage apprenticeships

Government Incentive Scheme for employers to recruit apprentices … this has been extended!
Take advantage of the government incentive scheme of up to £3000* paid to employers who recruit new staff and place them on an apprenticeship. This means that not only do you get a cash injection into your setting; but you also help your staff to gain a qualification!
For more information, view our handy guide on Incentive payments for employers when hiring a new apprentice as well as our page on Apprenticeship funding – Levy & Non-Levy.
