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.
