What’s an apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a training position where you benefit from a combination of practical training and study – all while being employed and earning a wage as you learn. You’ll have both on and off the job training, with study time allocated for you to complete your qualification so you can maintain a good work/life balance.

We offer a huge range of apprenticeships at all levels – from GCSE to master’s degree equivalent. To learn more about the different apprenticeship levels, click here.

Who are our apprenticeships for?

Anyone! There are often misconceptions about apprenticeships being for people who’ve just left school, but this is simply not the case. The age of our apprentices varies widely, ranging from 16-65 years old. We offer training at all levels, for specialisms in all areas and sectors – from nursing to laboratory science, and even chartered surveying.
