Apprenticeship logo What are Apprenticeships about?
As an Apprentice, you will learn while working to build your knowledge and skills, gaining qualifications and earning money all at the same time. There are different levels of Apprenticeships available, but they all lead to NVQs, Key Skills qualifications and, in most cases, a Technical Certificate with an awarding body. You will receive a separate certificate for each of these as you achieve them, as well as receiving a certificate once you have completed and achieved all aspects of your Apprenticeship programme.

Am I eligible for an Apprenticeship?
You do not have to pay for an Apprenticeship if you are aged 16 – 18 years, however, you need to be living in England and not taking part in full-time education. Apprenticeships are available at 19+ but either you or your employer will be asked to contribute to the cost of the training.

You will also need to be working with an employer in most cases for at least 30 hours per week. It is also important to keep in mind that you may need to buy materials, clothing and books for some programmes.

What are my progression routes?
If you are completing the Apprenticeship programme (Level 2), and your employer is willing to continue your training at a higher level, then you will have an opportunity to progress onto the Advanced Apprenticeship (Level 3). When you finish the Advanced Apprenticeship the employer will, hopefully, recognise your potential and worth and offer you a permanent position within their organisation. At this stage you may have the opportunity to progress onto university and professional level courses, such as those available at the UCY going to external site icon, many of which can be studied part-time whilst you continue to work.
