What is an apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship gives you the opportunity to combine on the job training with study meaning you can earn while you learn.
With some apprenticeships you can even get a degree.
It usually takes between one and four years to complete an apprenticeship depending on which level you take.
Apprenticeships are available across a wide range of industries and many high quality, prestigious companies offer them.
Pay is dependent on the industry, location and type of apprenticeship. The minimum wage for apprentices aged 16-18 is currently available at https://www.acas.org.uk/national-minimum-wage-entitlement, however many employers pay more than this and some higher apprenticeships can pay as much as £500 per week.
