What are transferable skills?
How long does it take?
Is there an upper age limit for Apprenticeships?
What does the announcement mean?
What is the Apprentice NMW rate?
I earn more than £2.50 an hour, will my wages be cut?
When will it happen?
Who does it apply to?
Can any benefits-in-kind, such as tips, accommodation, meals, or childcare vouchers, count towards the statutory minimum wage for apprentices?
Will I be entitled to the new apprentice minimum rate for the entire length of my Apprenticeship?
I am 19 and been on my Apprenticeship for over a year. What NMW rate should I be paid?
What does this mean for me?
I am working/training fewer than 38 hours a week and the new rate puts me on a lower wage than the existing £95 per week minimum? (England only)
Why do the transitional arrangements apply only to England?
Why has the previous weekly minimum (£95 per week) been replaced by an hourly minimum rate? (England only)
I am not employed, do I get the rate? Why are non-employed apprentices excluded?
The new £2.50 hourly rate is too low. Why? When will it be increased?
Why is on- and off-the-job training included in the definition of hours for the Apprenticeship NMW?
Is my evening class/study in the evening counted towards the hours for which the NMW is paid?
