Apprenticeships
Do you want to get ahead? Would you like to earn while you learn? Would you like to
gain a nationally-recognised qualification? Could you manage work and study? If you’ve
said yes to all these then an Apprenticeship could be for you.
Introduction to Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are a way of continuing learning while working and gaining nationally
recognised qualifications valued by today’s employers. It is a government-funded
scheme that is available to anyone in a wide range of occupations.
Courses come in two levels:
 Apprenticeships (level 2)
 Advanced Apprenticeships (level 3).
You start at the level that suits you. Both levels lead to a National Vocational
Qualification (NVQ) which acknowledge the knowledge and skills you have learnt to do
your job. You also gain key skills and technical certificates where appropriate.
Duration of Apprenticeships
The time taken to complete an Apprenticeship depends on various elements including
you, your employer and the occupation. They can take anything from one year to four
years.
Being an Apprentice
Apprenticeships aren’t suitable for everyone – you’ll need to decide which career suits
you best. You’ll then need to decide whether you are able to juggle work for an
employer one day and then study at college for a qualification (for example) on the next.
Entry requirements are flexible because they aren’t just based on academic
achievement. Practical skills count together with your interest in the area of work you’ve
chosen.
The most important requirement is that you must be employed for at least 16 hours a
week and have a contract of employment. Literacy and numeracy skills are required
and minimum GCSE grades may be needed, but consideration will be made for
applicants with other qualifications and experience.
