What is an apprenticeship?

In brief, an apprenticeship is a job with training.

You’ll spend all or the majority of your time in the workplace and some time or perhaps none at all within College.

You’ll earn a wage. There’s no set salary for an apprentice, it depends on the role and the employer. However, the minimum you can be paid is the national apprenticeship average per hour and this includes any time you spend in college or completing off the job activities connected to your apprenticeship.

There’s four different apprenticeship levels:

Apprenticeship	Level	Educational Equivalent
Intermediate	2	GCSE
Advanced	3	A Level
Higher	4, 5, 6 & 7	Foundation Degree and above
Degree	6 & 7	Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree

As an apprentice you will gain an abundance of relevant work experience, develop job-specific skills and receive support throughout from your dedicated College Training Officer and employer.

Is an apprenticeship right for me?

An apprentice can be anybody; any age, any level of previous study and in almost any industry.

To be successful as an apprentice you should want to challenge yourself and enjoy learning on the job. You need to be self-motivated and be able to manage your time well.

Being an apprentice isn’t easy, it requires a commitment to a career path. But you’ll be rewarded by consistent self-development and a wealth of industry experience.
