Apprentice Minimum Wage Increases from 1 April 2026

With the start of the new financial year, new National Minimum Wage rates have now come into effect for apprentices.

From 1 April 2026, the apprentice rate has increased to £8.00 per hour. This applies to apprentices who are under 19, as well as those aged 19 or over who are still in the first year of their apprenticeship.

Apprentices aged 19 or over who have completed their first year are entitled to the full National Minimum Wage rate for their age group instead.

This update is an important reminder for apprentices and employers alike, helping to ensure pay is in line with current statutory requirements. It also reflects the value of apprenticeships in supporting individuals as they build practical skills, gain qualifications and progress within the industry.

At Steve Willis Training, we are proud to support apprentices as they develop their careers across gas, electrical, plumbing and renewables. We look forward to continuing to help learners take the next step in their training and employment journey..
