How quickly can we launch a Makers apprenticeship or training programme?

The timeline for launching a Makers programme depends on the type of programme and your organisation’s goals.

In many cases, organisations can launch a programme within a few weeks, particularly when upskilling existing employees.

For new apprenticeship cohorts, the timeline may include additional steps such as selecting learners and confirming programme details.

Typical programme launch steps

When working with Makers, the launch process usually includes:

1. Programme design
We work with you to understand your goals and identify the most relevant programme, such as software engineering, data, AI or leadership training.

2. Learner identification
This may involve selecting existing employees for upskilling or identifying new hires who will join as apprentices.

3. Cohort scheduling
Programmes run on regular cohort start dates, allowing organisations to align training with business needs.

4. Programme launch
Learners begin the programme and start applying new skills alongside their day-to-day work.

Flexible delivery

Makers programmes are designed to work alongside business operations.

Training can be delivered through structured workshops, practical projects and supported learning, allowing employees to continue contributing while developing new skills.
