Revenue model

1. Government-Funded Apprenticeship Training: Revenue from government-funded apprenticeship programmes. For levy-paying employers (wage bill over £3 million), training costs are covered through Apprenticeship Levy contributions. Non-levy paying employers contribute only 5% of training costs with government covering the remaining 95%. The company is a RoATP-approved provider for Levy Apprenticeships.
2. Advanced Learner Loans: Government loans available to individuals aged 19+ for Level 3 to Level 6 courses. Repayments only begin once earning above £27,295 per year. Train Together manages the application process and provides Learning and Funding Information Letters.
3. Commercial Self-Funded Training: Direct payment for training courses by individuals or employers. The company offers flexible payment plans allowing costs to be spread over the programme duration. A small deposit is typically required to secure a place.
4. Adult Learner Loan Account Management: The company manages an Adult Learner Loan account for eligible learners, facilitating access to government-funded individual training programmes.
