What is the PTPT Apprenticeship offer?
The Integrated Pharmacy Technician Apprenticeship is a 2-year training programme combining a qualification with the work experience from which the individual will be able to register as a pharmacy technician with the GPhC on completion of training.
The Training Hub has secured NHSE regional commissions for 4 PTPT starts in 26/27 offering a funding contribution of £27,909 per trainee for the duration of the 24 month programme. This funding contribution may be used flexibly to support employment costs, supervision, infrastructure and other programme-related costs that enable the trainee to successfully complete their initial education and training programme. Please see the summary presentation for more details.
The Training Hub can support employers with:
- Providing relevant templates such as partnership MOUs, Job Descriptions’, Training Plans
- Supporting with recruitment, shortlisting and interviewing of potential apprentices if applicable
- Being a link with the training provider to support the co-ordinated enrolment and ongoing training of the apprentices
- Supporting the identification of rotational partnerships across the sector
- Sourcing funding for training (Levy) from system partners to pay for training costs (circa £8000)
We can help simplify the process of recruiting and developing a PTPT from identifying suitable funding routes and accessing Levy transfer opportunities to connecting organisations with approved education providers, we help employers navigate every stage of the apprenticeship journey.
Some of our existing partnerships include hospital, primary care and community and as a result we have garnered a wealth of knowledge in supporting cross sector, rotational apprenticeships and those staff on the training program.
