NowSkills is an independent UK training provider specialising in digital and IT apprenticeships delivered in partnership with employers. Established in 2013, they focus exclusively on government-funded, accredited apprenticeship programmes designed to build practical skills in areas such as Digital Marketing, IT Infrastructure, Content Creation and Data Analytics. Apprenticeships are co-designed with employers to reflect regional skills needs and emerging technologies, including cloud computing, cybersecurity, AI and data analytics, and are delivered flexibly online via platforms such as Zoom and Teams or at employer premises. NowSkills positions itself as a Department for Education Main Provider with an Ofsted-inspected offer, underpinned by a Board of Governors and a dedicated quality team to assure programme standards and impact. They support employers to recruit new talent or upskill existing staff through apprenticeships, including guidance on accessing available funding and integrating apprenticeships into CPD and workforce development. Learners receive careers advice, wellbeing support and optional vendor qualifications on selected programmes, with an emphasis on ethical, high-quality training, retention and progression. NowSkills also provides resources for both apprentices and employers, including information on apprenticeship funding, eligibility, levels and end-point assessment, alongside live apprenticeship vacancies and registration routes for prospective learners.
