As a collaborative business partnership Microsoft, PDS and Testhouse will be working with, and supporting Software Industry Partners and companies across England, supporting the skills needed for growth.

The Microsoft Partner Apprenticeship Programme was launched nationally in January 2010 and since then over 11,000 people are on or have completed their Apprenticeship.

Microsoft apprentices are primarily Level 3 and 4 Apprenticeships,  The Microsoft apprentice programmes are delivered by a select group of seven Microsoft Learning Partners, including PDS, and all Apprentices are employed by Microsoft Partners and customers, following both the existing Apprentice frameworks for ICT and increasingly the new Apprenticeship Standards. The majority of the Apprenticeships are with SMEs.  

With the support of Microsoft and its Learning Partners, over 7,000 companies have participated in the scheme and we anticipate that this year there will be just under 4,500 new starts across all our programmes, representing up to a third of all IT Apprenticeship starts in the UK.
