Apprenticeship Information

How apprenticeships work

On an apprenticeship you're employed to do a real job while studying for a formal qualification - usually for one day a week either at a college, university or training centre. By the end of your apprenticeship, you'll hopefully have gained the skills and knowledge needed to either succeed in your chosen career or progress to the next apprenticeship level.

What you'll learn depends on the role you're training for. However, apprentices in every role follow an approved study programme, which means you'll gain a nationally-recognised qualification at the end of your apprenticeship.
