How Apprenticeships work

What's involved?

• You’ll need to be in employment for at least 30 hours per week.  If you’re not already working we can help through our network of employers who are looking for Apprentices.
• You’ll need to be committed – not just to work, but to study and to meet deadlines, and your employer will need to be committed to support your development and learning.
• You’ll have regular meetings with your assessor who will guide you through the qualification and advise and support you as you progress through your Apprenticeship.
• On completion you will have achieved several qualifications and once they are all combined you will achieve your Apprenticeship certificate.

 

Who can do an apprenticeship?

• Anyone over 16 can apply to do an Apprenticeship - the programme starts once you commence employment.
• If you already have a job, you may also be eligible to start an Apprenticeship.  We can advise you and your employer of the next steps.
