Mace: does its apprenticeship programme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyApprenticeship Programme

Unconfirmed. Mace publishes no sponsorship policy for its apprenticeship programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. The Mace Consult apprenticeship programme lasts four years, with possibly an additional year of study depending on the qualification, and starts in early September. Eligibility is five GCSEs at grade 4 or C or above including maths and English, plus 96 UCAS points, though a small number of roles ask for higher UCAS points or set extra requirements in the job advert. Apprentices earn a salary described as competitive while working towards a nationally recognised qualification, and Mace lists professional qualification, professional membership, structured training, one to one support, exposure across its services, networking and volunteering as part of the package. Applications for the 2027 programmes open in autumn 2026.

The catch: Four years is the stated duration but Mace says the qualification can add roughly another year, so plan for five. The FAQ also requires right to live and work in the country you apply to.
