Honda UK: does its honda apprenticeship programme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyHonda Apprenticeship Programme (Cars, Motorcycles, ATV, Customer Service)

Unconfirmed. Honda UK publishes no sponsorship policy for its honda apprenticeship programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Honda UK runs its apprenticeship programme from the Honda Institute at Cain Road in Bracknell, in four streams: Cars, Motorcycles, ATV and Customer Service. The published entry bar is three GCSEs at grade A star to C or 4 to 9 or equivalent, plus living within reasonable travelling distance of the vacancy. Off the job training is block release at the Honda Institute, one week at a time, between two and eight blocks a year, with hotel and travel paid by the retailer. Apprentices aged 16 to 18 without a grade 4 in English or maths must reach Level 2 Functional Skills before completing. Recruitment runs telephone interview with Honda's team, interview at the retailer, a possible two to three day work trial, then offer and enrolment. Apprentices are employed by an authorised Honda retailer, not by Honda, and Honda says it sets pay above the government apprentice minimum without naming a figure.

The catch: Your employer is a franchised dealer, not Honda Motor Europe, so any sponsorship question is a question about that individual retailer. The programme is delivered with Inspiro as training provider, and the residency and funding rules that go with apprenticeship funding are not published on the site.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?

The pay for this scheme sits below the Skilled Worker salary threshold, which is itself a reason sponsorship is not possible.

Your employer is a franchised dealer, not Honda Motor Europe, so any sponsorship question is a question about that individual retailer. The programme is delivered with Inspiro as training provider, and the residency and funding rules that go with apprenticeship funding are not published on the site.

How should I confirm Honda UK's sponsorship before applying?

Read the specific vacancy on Honda UK's careers site, ask its early-careers team directly, and check the employer on the gov.uk Register of Licensed Sponsors. Policies and thresholds change, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm for the exact role and cycle.
