Common questions

Does Surrey County Council sponsor visas for its apprenticeships?

Unconfirmed. Surrey County Council publishes no sponsorship policy for its apprenticeships, so we cannot state a firm answer. Surrey County Council publishes its apprentice pay openly: £22,599 in year one and £23,576 in year two for a level 2 or 3 apprenticeship, £23,576 for level 4 and above, and £23,576 for an internship. Apprentices are paid for time spent training or studying, whether at work, at college or with a training provider, and get a dedicated day each week for coursework. Programmes usually take 15 to 18 months, and candidates without English or maths qualifications may be asked to complete functional skills alongside. A training provider supplies a skills coach who plans and marks the work. Benefits include 26 days holiday rising to 28 after two years and 30 after five, the option to buy up to 10 more days, a TOTUM apprentice discount card, interest free rail and bike loans and an apprentice Oyster card for those aged 18 or over living in a London borough. Nothing on these pages addresses visa sponsorship.
