WHAT IS AN APPRENTICESHIP?
An Apprenticeship is a paid job where the employee learns and gains valuable experiences.
Alongside on-the-job training, some Apprentices spend at least 6 hours of their working week completing classroom-based learning with us.
An Apprenticeship includes:
• Paid employment with holiday leave
• Hands-on experience in a sector/role of interest
• Off-the-job training
• Formal assessment which leads to a nationally recognised qualification
• English and Maths if required Who can apply?
An Apprenticeship is a great paid work opportunity for people over the age of 16 in England who are:
• Early in their career
• Looking to upskill in their current job
• Looking for a career change
• Not in full-time education
Apprenticeship levels
Different Apprenticeship levels equate to different qualification levels.
An Apprenticeship can start at any level, but some may require:
• Previous qualifications such as English or Maths GCSEs
• Additional training in English or Maths to ensure the Apprentice is at the right level
Pre-Employment programmes are a great option for people who are not yet ready for an Apprenticeship because they provide opportunities to gain the relevant skills and experience needed to start an Apprenticeship or prepare for work.
One of the following qualification levels will be achieved depending on the Apprenticeship level:
Intermediate 2
Advanced 3
Higher 4 and 5
Degree 6 and 7
GCSE
A level
Foundation degree and above
Bachelor’s or master’s degree
