4 Apprenticeships What is an Apprenticeship? An Apprenticeship is an opportunity to gain a real job with training so you can earn whilst you learn. Apprenticeship programmes have been designed by employers and enable Apprentices to gain technical and professional knowledge with real practical experience, along with the functional and personal skills required for their immediate job and future career. Apprenticeships are a combination of workplace learning and formal training which provide the opportunity to practice and embed new skills in a working environment. Apprenticeships are open to all learners aged 16 and above, providing they meet the eligibility criteria for funding. Higher Apprenticeships are now available up to degree level and beyond. Benefits of doing an apprenticeship You can start at any time of year Earn a salary Training in the skills employers want Excellent progression opportunities, whether looking to study further or climb the ranks within the workplace Increased future earning potential Learning at a pace suited to the individual with the support of a mentor Paid holiday Viable alternative to university Apprenticeship levels There are three levels of apprenticeship programmes available depending on your current skills and qualifications: Intermediate Advanced Higher Intermediate Level Apprenticeships are Level 2 qualifications and are the entry level Apprenticeship for many occupations.
