Apprenticeships
How Apprenticeships work
Apprenticeships combine practical training in a job with study.
As an apprentice you’ll:
- Be an employee earning a wage and getting holiday pay
- Work alongside experienced staff
- Gain job specific skills
- Get time for training and study related to your role (at least 20% of your normal working hours)
Apprenticeships take from 1 to 5 years to complete depending on their level.
Apprenticeships have equivalent educational levels:
| Level | Equivalent Education Level | |
| Intermediate | 2 | GCSE |
| Advanced | 3 | A-Level |
| Higher | 4, 5, 6 and 7 | Foundation Degree and above |
| Degree | 6 and 7 | Bachelor's or Master's Degree |
Some apprenticeship qualifications may also give you an additional qualification, such as a diploma.
