APPRENTICESHIPS
As an apprentice, you earn a wage, gain transferable skills, and undertake training
It’s helpful to think of an apprenticeship as a job, rather than a study programme. You get hired by an employer for a particular role – like hairdresser, veterinary nurse or accountant – and you study while you get paid to do the job.
The various levels of apprenticeship are equivalent to GCSE’s (Level 2), A levels (Level 3) and foundation degree (Level 4).
Why Choose Apprenticeships?
It’s for you if you know what you want to do for a living, you want to work, and you want to get nationally recognised qualifications while you’re at it.
Apprentices learn by doing the job, so if you prefer a hands-on approach, it could be ideal for you.
They are open to anyone aged 16 and above who live in England & who is not in full time education.
How to Make the Right Choices?
Apprenticeships have been developed over time and with leading employers and professional bodies.
