Apprenticeship Information
What is an Apprenticeship?
An Apprenticeship is a nationally recognised training programme combining real work with learning and training, both on and off the job.
Apprentices are open to everyone aged 16 and above. Whether you are a school leaver, have been in or are already in employment and/or are seeking to start a new career.
As employees, apprentices earn a wage and work alongside experienced staff to gain job specific skills.
Levels of Apprenticeships:
Intermediate Level Apprenticeships
This is where apprentices work towards work-based learning qualifications such as a Level 2 Competence Qualification, Functional Skills (e.g. Maths and English) and, in most cases, a relevant knowledge-based qualification.
Advanced Level Apprenticeships
This is where apprentices work towards work-based learning such as a Level 3 Competence Qualification, Functional Skills (e.g. Maths and English) and, in most cases, a relevant knowledge based qualification.
