Careers Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships

On an apprenticeship, you’re employed to do a real job while studying for a formal qualification. By the end of your apprenticeship, you’ll hopefully have gained the skills and knowledge needed to either succeed in your chosen career or progress onto the next apprenticeship level.

There are four different levels of apprenticeship:

  • Intermediate – equivalent to five good GCSE passes.
  • Advanced – equivalent to two A-level passes.
  • Higher – equivalent to the first stages of higher education, such as a foundation degree or HNC/HND.
  • Degree – comparable to a Bachelors or Masters degree.

Most job sectors offer apprenticeship opportunities in the UK, with a wide range of specific roles on offer within each.
