ApprenticeshipsWhat is an Apprenticeship?

An Apprenticeship is ideal if you know which careerpath you want to follow, but you don’t want tostudy in full time education and you would like toearn a salary whilst learning.

All Apprenticeships are developed by the industrysector in which they will be used and give learnersthe skills they need to become a craftsperson,technician or manager in that area.

Depending on the course, you will either attendCollege once a week or on a block basis where youwill attend between 2-4 weeks depending on thecourse chosen. The remaining time will be spent inthe workplace. You will be working towardsachieving an Apprenticeship Framework.

An Apprenticeship is a set of qualifications thatmake up a framework.

As an apprentice you are required to complete thefollowing qualifications, which make up theApprenticeship Framework:

• Work based learning qualification such as aLevel 2 NVQ

• Functional Skills

• Knowledge based qualification such as aBTEC Diploma (Technical Certificate)

Additionally apprentices will complete EmploymentRights and Responsibilities and any occupationallyspecific training such as Abrasive Wheels orFirst Aid.

There is potential once learners have completedtheir Apprenticeship to then continue onto theAdvanced Apprenticeship.
