Apprenticeships are available across a very wide range of industry sectors and are an excellent way of gaining nationally recognised apprenticeship skills, knowledge and behaviours, whilst working and gaining real workplace experience.
Anyone living in England, over the age of 16 (who has completed Year 11 at Secondary School), and who wants to work in a job full time whilst gaining qualifications, can apply for an apprenticeship. There is no upper age limit to starting an apprenticeship.
You can do an apprenticeship after GCSEs, after A Levels or even after doing a degree, however in order to access any Government funding, your apprenticeship must be different to your degree or provide you with significant new learning opportunities.
The apprenticeships that we offer range in length from 12 months to anything up to 3 years, depending on the programme. An apprentice must have a contract of employment with you, get paid a salary and receive the relevant statutory benefits (eg. holidays, sick pay).
