Apprenticeships focus on the whole job, not just individual skills.

How it Works

Apprentices learn through a combination of on- and off-the-job education and training. On the job they work alongside your staff and the rest they learn from a local learning provider (usually on a day release basis).

Apprenticeships help you stay competitive by developing the kind of people your business needs for the future.

Finding the right Apprenticeship Apprenticeships offer a fantastic range of training in 80 different sectors of industry, covering a huge range of subjects from health and social care to business administration.

A learning provider can help you and your apprentice decide which Apprenticeship is best for your business.  
There are two levels of Apprenticeship for apprentices and advanced apprentices:

• Apprenticeships for apprentices usually last  at least a year and apprentices work towards a National Vocational Qualification at Level 2, Key Skills and in most cases a technical certificate.
• Advanced Apprenticeships usually last at least two years and apprentices work towards a National Vocational Qualification at Level 3, Key Skills and a technical certificate.
