HI Wayne is now a faculty director and Lee is a manager at Selby college, it would be hard for a student who only does rendering to gain all the evidence required to complete a level 2, level 3 is now split solid or fibrous so on your skills card it will state which part of the trade you took the qualification in, as for incentives i think there are some form of payments for taking on an apprentice, its not something i deal with but I can find out for you, if anyone is looking for an apprentice take my advice and contact your local college and ask if they have any full time students who are any good, i have sent a few to firms for work experience and they have been taken on and transferred to employed groups, if your local college is any good they will only send people to you who have good attendance timekeeping and can cut it in our trade if trained on site properly, we do teach mono rendering and Weber come in to college often to demonstrate their products, we had some acrylic and let some learners who race ahead have a go with it but it is not in the curriculum yet, but the qualifications are being re-written as we speak
