How it works

Ada’s apprenticeship model combines pre-employment technical training with a structured work-study schedule, delivering job-ready talent that contributes to live projects without draining your team’s capacity.

Launchpad

Before setting foot in your office, apprentices complete Ada’s intensive 5-week technical bootcamp. Meaning they arrive on Day 1 grounded in core frameworks, workplace etiquette, and agile ways of working. This eliminates the standard onboarding lag so they deliver value immediately.

Work-Study Cycle

Apprentices spend 80% of their time fully embedded in your business (6–7 consecutive weeks) and 20% in focused block release at Ada (1 week). This block model prevents daily context-switching, allowing apprentices to stay fully dedicated to your project deliverables and sprint cycles. 

We offer either a 3 year Level 6 Degree Route programme or an 18 month Level 4 programme.

Funding & Support

– Fully Levy-funded for eligible employers, with additional support available.

 – Regular 1-to-1 reviews with both apprentice and manager to track progress and proactively resolve issues.

 – Light-touch workshops to help your team leaders mentor effectively without increasing their workload.

 – Ada handles all administrative and compliance heavy-lifting through to graduation.
