Information for apprentices

An apprenticeship offers you the opportunity to start your chosen career and acquire the knowledge and skills you need while working at the same time.

• You'll have off-the-job training - usually day or block release at a college or training provider.
• No tuition fees - training is funded by contributions from your employer and the government.
• You will be an employee, receive a salary and become a valued member of the business.

An apprenticeship can lead to a range of progression routes to get your career off to the best possible start.

There are different levels of apprenticeships available, each offering different opportunities.  

• Get started in the workplace with a Level 2 or Level 3 Apprenticeship.
• Progress to university level study to boost your career with a Higher Apprenticeship.
• Take the next step in your career with a Degree Apprenticeship.

To become an apprentice, you must:

• be aged 16 or over
• not be in full-time education
• live in England

You can apply for an apprenticeship whether you’re just starting your career, reskilling or upskilling in your current role. You can have a previous qualification like a degree and still start an apprenticeship.
