What is an Apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a real job where you learn, gain experience and get paid. On an apprenticeship, you are employed to do a real job whilst studying for a formal qualification with your training provider. By the end of your apprenticeship, you will have gained the skills and knowledge needed to either succeed in your chosen career or progress onto the next apprenticeship level. What you will learn depends on the role that you are training for. However, apprentices in every role follow an approved study programme, which means you will gain a nationally-recognised qualification at the end of your apprenticeship.

An Apprenticeship includes;

• Functional Skills - GCSE level qualifications in English, maths and IT (*some exemptions apply)

• Apprenticeship Standard - Apprenticeship standards are employer-led, meaning that employers can specify exactly what is required from an apprentice in each specific role. Apprenticeship standards outline the skills, knowledge and behaviours (KSBs) required to carry out a certain job role. All apprentices must take an independent assessment (EPA) at the end of their training to demonstrate the KSBs set out in the occupational standard.

• You will also be constantly developing your transferable skills, otherwise known as soft skills, which are highly valued by employers. These include communication, teamwork and problem solving skills.
