Our Apprenticeship
Heritage
Reynolds Training has a long-standing history of supporting apprenticeships within the bulk storage and process industries.
Our experience has been built through close collaboration with industry, helping to develop specialist learning that reflects the knowledge, skills and behaviours required in real operational environments.
That experience continues to inform the technical, safety and competence training we provide today.
Industry experience that shapes learning
Reynolds brings decades of experience in technical and safety training for high-hazard industries, supported by specialist instructors and practical training at the NCPM.
Skills for a Changing Industry = Future Ready
As high-hazard industries evolve through energy transition, digitalisation and changing workforce requirements, developing the right technical knowledge and practical competence remains critical.
Apprenticeships provide one route into industry, helping to develop the skills and experience needed to support safe and effective operations for the future.
As industry continues to change, these foundations can help build a capable workforce ready to meet the demands of the future.
Why you should

DEVELOPING FUTURE TALENT
Apprenticeships provide a route for organisations to bring new people into the industry and develop the skills needed to support future workforce requirements.
SUPPORTED TRAINING
With government funding and support, you can benefit from a fully-trained and skilled workforce without incurring high training costs.
How much does an Apprenticeship cost the employer?
So, how does the funding work?
Businesses with more than £3 million annual wage bill already contribute 0.5% of that bill into The Apprenticeship Levy.
When you recruit Apprentices – your Levy funds can be used towards eligible apprenticeship training and assessment costs.
Unused Levy funds expire after a set period, so it’s worth understanding how apprenticeship funding could support your workforce development plans.
No problem. You can still claim 95% funding. You contribute 5% towards the cost of training and assessing your Apprentice. The government will pay the rest (95%) up to the funding band maximum.
Funding can support:
- apprenticeship training
- assessment costs
- developing new skills within your workforce
Eligibility and employer contributions will depend on the apprenticeship route and current funding rules.
