Apprenticeships

WHAT IS AN APPRENTICESHIP?

An apprenticeship is a job with training and is open to anyone who is 16 and over. There's no upper age limit. You work alongside experienced staff and gain job-specific knowledge, skills and behaviours.

You do a real job while studying for a formal qualification - usually for one day a week. By the end of your apprenticeship, you'll hopefully have gained the skills and knowledge needed to succeed. You can then choose to progress in your career or onto the next apprenticeship level.

WHAT TYPES OF APPRENTICESHIPS ARE THERE?

An intermediate apprenticeship (level 2) usually takes 2 years to complete; however there are different levels of apprenticeships. So, the length of your course will depend on your existing experience, qualifications and your choice of job role.

Intermediate level 2 - the equivalent of 5 GCSE passes at grade 9-4
Advanced level 3 - the equivalent of 2 A-level passes, Level 3 Diploma or International Baccalaureate
Higher levels 4, 5, 6 and 7 - the equivalent of a Foundation Degree and above
Degree level 6 and 7 - the equivalent of a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree

Each apprenticeship will have different entry requirements depending on your chosen role and level.

WHAT ARE APPRENTICESHIP STANDARDS?

Apprenticeship Standards are new apprenticeships. They are based on learning knowledge, skills and behaviours led by employers. Standards don't include continual assessment but instead require apprentices to take an End-Point-Assessment or EPA to pass their qualification.
