Apprenticeship
An apprenticeship is a full-time job where you earn and study at the same time. An apprenticeship will help you build the skills, knowledge and confidence to start your career.
We’ll give you the three things you need to thrive in work – knowledge, skills and the right behaviours. Every course we offer is clearly aligned to a specific job, so you’re clear about where you’re heading.
We provide apprenticeships from Level 2 to degree level, in areas such as engineering and construction, beauty therapy to business, health and social care to horticulture, and in many more sectors.
We work with over 1,500 employers so we can support you to find the best apprenticeships to suit a range of abilities and skills.
For some apprenticeships, such as construction trades, you’ll attend college on a day-release or block basis. The entry requirements for apprenticeships vary, depending on the area you choose. Good maths and English grades are required for all apprenticeships.
