Why are Dental Apprenticeships the way forwards?
They combine practical, on-the-job training with tailored learning, addressing the growing demand for skilled professionals in the dental sector. They offer the opportunity to earn while learning, gain real-world experience, and develop both technical and soft skills needed for success. Designed in collaboration with employers, apprenticeships align with industry needs, providing accessible career progression pathways while bridging the gap between study and work. By fostering inclusivity, boosting employability, and contributing to improved healthcare outcomes, dental apprenticeships offer a future-proof and rewarding career choice.

Dental apprenticeships develop essential wider skills such as effective communication, teamwork, customer service, while also enhancing problem-solving, time management, and organisational abilities. Apprentices gain professionalism, adaptability, and resilience through real world challenges, alongside digital and IT skills critical for modern dental services. They also build leadership, initiative, and interpersonal skills, preparing them for career progression and enabling them to excel in diverse, fast paced healthcare environments. These apprenticeships ensure well-rounded professionals who can meet industry demands and provide high quality patient care.

Frequently asked questions
Apprenticeships in England are open to individuals aged 16 and over, not in full-time education, who wish to begin a career, advance in their current role, or pursue a new career path.
Off-the-job training is an essential component of apprenticeships, contributing to the development of occupational competency. While it requires a commitment of at least 20% (around six hours per week), many employers and apprentices praise its positive impact on productivity and skill acquisition. Off-the-job training can be delivered flexibly, allowing for various delivery styles to suit employer and apprentice needs. The off-the-job training can be covered via the apprentice shadowing a workplace mentor or colleague, working in different areas, or being shown new skills for the first time. Additional examples are attendance at information sessions, research processes related to their employer and industry, and engagement with relevant reading materials.
The financial aspects of apprenticeships vary based on the employer’s levy status. Employers paying into the apprenticeship levy fund training costs from their levy balance, which expires after 24 months. Those not contributing to the levy receive 95% funding support from the government, with the employer covering the remaining 5%.
The 5% charge can be avoided if:
For new starts from 1 April 2024, for employers who do not pay the levy, the government will fully fund apprenticeship training costs, up to the funding band maximum for apprentices who at the start of their apprenticeship training are aged between:
16 and 21 years old (or 15 years of age if the apprentice’s 16th birthday is between the last Friday of June and 31 August)
22 and 24 years old and: – has either an education, health, and care (EHC) plan provided by their local authority and / or has been in the care of their local authority; and – their employer has fewer than 50 employees
For starts before 31 March 2024, for employers who do not pay the levy and have fewer than 50 employees, the government will fully fund apprenticeship training costs, up to the funding band maximum, for apprentices who at the start of their apprenticeship training are aged between:
16 and 18 years old (or 15 years of age if the apprentice’s 16th birthday is between the last Friday of June and 31 August); or
19 and 24 years old and has either an education, health, and care (EHC) plan provided by their local authority and / or has been in the care
While employers are responsible for apprentice wages and employee welfare, our team provides guidance on navigating these financial aspects in areas such as funding and employer incentives, to name a few.
Contrary to popular belief, training delivered by the apprenticeship provider can be conducted at the apprentice’s usual place of work and Skills4Dental deliver our apprenticeships via live online tutor-led sessions or on-site as agreed at the beginning of an apprenticeship. Our flexible delivery allows the employer to select the best day and times for apprentices to be available for their apprenticeship training. It encompasses theory, practical training, and assignments. Employers collaborate with training providers to determine the timing, location, and delivery mode of off-the-job training. Apprentices are responsible for documenting their training hours, supported by an end-to-end learner platform. At Skills4Dental we have a robust and swift enrolment and delivery mechanism that reduces waiting times and employer documentation requirements.
