If you’re 16 – 24 you’re eligible to be considered for an apprenticeship. There are Apprenticeships in over 200 job areas, and all involve working in a job, learning ‘hands on’ and studying for qualifications like NVQ 2 or 3.
There are:
- Apprenticeships
- Advanced Apprenticeships
- Professional Apprenticeships
There are no set entry qualifications to get an Apprenticeship, though you may need GCSEs A*-Cs for some.
Apprenticeships usually last 1 to 2 years, but it depends on your abilities and what your employer needs!
Most apprentices are paid and there’s a minimum wage of £80.00 per week. Lots of apprenticeships will pay more than this.
