The Apprenticeship Route

An Apprenticeship is more than just a job; it’s about skills for life. You basically mix classroom learning with work!

As an apprentice you will:

• work alongside experienced staff
• gain job-specific skills
• You will earn the national minimum wage during your apprenticeship
• You will study towards a related qualification (usually one day a week at college)
• You’ll get at least 20 days paid holiday per year, plus bank holidays

Apprenticeships take 1 to 4 years to complete depending on their level.

Levels of apprenticeship:

An apprenticeship has an equivalent education level and can be:

• Intermediate - equivalent to 5 GCSE passes – This applies to YOU post GCSE
• Advanced - equivalent to 2 A level passes
• Higher - can lead to NVQ Level 4 and above, or a foundation degree

You can apply for an apprenticeship if you’re 16 or over
