How NATS (National Apprenticeship Training Scheme) relates to Elip
NATS (National Apprenticeship Training Scheme) is an official government route, and for government roles and schemes you should use it directly. Elip works differently: you talk to it for about ten minutes, it reads new job postings each night with you in mind, and it brings you the few worth your time. Many people use both: NATS (National Apprenticeship Training Scheme) for public-sector openings and registrations, Elip so other suitable openings come to them.
