How Much Support Do Marketing Apprentices Need?

This tool estimates how much time you’ll realistically need to manage a marketing apprentice and highlights whether your setup is strong, workable, or likely to cause issues.

How much support time to marketing apprentices need?


Thinking About Hiring A Marketing Apprentice? Let’s Put You To The Test.

Use this tool to get a realistic sense of how much time and support an apprentice is likely to need from you as their manager. It is designed to challenge the idea that apprentices need constant hand-holding for 12 months and show whether your current setup looks strong, workable, risky, or not right yet. Simply answer each question based on how things would actually work in your business, not how you would like them to look on paper. The more honest you are, the more useful the result will be.

If your result came back as Ideal or Could work, you’re likely in a good position to make this work properly.

Whether you want to hire a junior marketer or upskill someone already in your team, we can help you put the right structure around it and make sure it’s built to work in the real world.

Get in touch to arrange a call and we’ll talk through your setup, the type of person that makes sense, and how a marketing apprenticeship could support your business.
