What is an Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a practical way to prepare for a job. It combines full-time work with studying and hands-on training, helping you gain skills that employers want and earn a qualification that’s recognized in the industry, even up to a degree level.
Apprenticeships are available for people aged 16 and over. Apprenticeships can only be completed in work. They are suitable for people who are new to the job, or for people to upskill within the workplace.
They are designed by industry to support people within work to gain the skills that are needed to do the job. They can last from 12 months to 4 years, and complete once the End Point Assessment (EPA) is achieved.They start at an equivalent to GSCE level (Level 2) and progress through to degree levels (Levels 6/7).
