There are three levels of apprenticeship available for people aged sixteen and above:

(This is equivalent to five good GCSE passes.)

• Apprentices work towards work-based learning qualifications such as an NVQ Level 2, Key Skills and, in some cases, a relevant knowledge-based qualification such as a BTEC.
• These provide the skills you need for your chosen career and allow entry to an Advanced Apprenticeship.

(This is equivalent to five good A-Level passes.)

• Advanced apprentices work towards work-based learning qualifications such as NVQ Level 3, Key Skills and, in most cases, a relevant knowledge-based certificate such as a BTEC.
• To start this programme, you should ideally have five GCSEs (grade C or above) or have completed an Apprenticeship.

• Higher apprentices work towards work-based learning qualifications such as NVQ Level 4 and, in some cases, a knowledge-based qualification such as a Foundation Degree.

The amount of time you spend varies according to your Apprenticeship. It could be anything from one day every other fortnight to two days every week. You also spend time off the job with us- studying for vocational qualifications. So all the things you study will be useful in your job and help you succeed in your future career.
