What Is an Apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a job with training. It allows you to earn while you learn, gain hands-on experience, and achieve nationally recognised qualifications. As an apprentice, you’ll split your time between working for an employer and studying with us to gain valuable skills and knowledge for your chosen career.

Why Choose an Apprenticeship?

1. Learn and earn: Get paid while gaining real-world experience and building skills that employers value.

2. Gain qualifications: Achieve qualifications from Level 2 (GCSE equivalent) to Level 7 (Master’s degree equivalent), depending on the apprenticeship you choose.

3. Build a career: Apprenticeships are available in a wide range of industries, from healthcare and technology to construction and creative sectors, helping you kickstart your dream career.

4. Avoid debt: Apprenticeship training is fully funded, meaning you won’t face the burden of student loans.

5. Real-world experience: Develop practical skills by working alongside experienced professionals in a supportive environment.

How Does an Apprenticeship Work?

Work: Spend most of your time on the job, gaining valuable hands-on experience.

Learn: Attend training sessions with expert tutors to gain theoretical knowledge.

Progress: Work towards a qualification that aligns with your role and career
