The Ministry of Justice is committed to improving the quality of and access to apprenticeships.

FIMCTS currently employs six apprentices as part of the Civil Service Fast Track apprenticeship scheme. All six started in September 2013 and are between the ages of 18-21. In total the MoJ took on 11 Fast Track Apprentices in September 2013; all between the ages of 18-21. The scheme aims to attract ta1en.ed school leavers to the Civil Service and the Ministry is committed to on-going support for the scheme by offering places each year where possible.

In addition, from 1 April 2013 to 1 November 2013, a total of 461 existing HMCTS staff enrolled onto an apprenticeship qualification as part of our on-going up-skilling programme.

To provide the full information requested for existing staff apprenticeships would require obtaining and analysing individual records for the members of staff concerned and would incur disproportionate costs.
