A programme for young people interested in a career at EY / professional services. The programme will help you take your first steps into a career in accounting, consulting, or other professional services and is appropriate for those who wish to apply for a high level / degree apprenticeship at the end of school or college.
Secure Futures Sector: security
This programme offers the opportunity to gain experience in and an understanding of the variety of roles available in the security industry, keeping us safe online, in the workplace, at home, and in public spaces.

Actuaries are like superheroes for businesses. They perform a very cool job, but instead of possessing superhuman strength, they have a superhuman understanding of numbers and risks. Imagine you're organising a big outdoor birthday party. There could be lots of things that might go wrong, right? Rain could spoil the party, guests could arrive late, or too many people could show up. An actuary's job is very similar. They look at all the things that could possibly go wrong in business scenarios - like launching a new product or offering a new insurance plan - and then use their mathematical skills to predict how likely these events are to happen and how much they could cost the company. This helps businesses plan better, save money, and make smart decisions for the future.
Trade Futures Sector: government / HMRC
This programme offers insights into working with the civil service and EY on a government consulting programme looking at Trade initiatives. You will have an opportunity to learn about the big issues affecting the UK, our borders and trade and meet the professionals working to solve these problems. Alongside a team of civil servants, you will develop an understanding of a civil service workplace within one of the UK government's largest agencies.

Discover your potential in the digital and tech industry with a QA apprenticeship, mastering the digital and tech skills that employers are seeking today. With an apprenticeship, you can earn while you learn and unlock a world of possibilities.

Curious about the Cloud, interested in IT, have an affinity for AI or a soft spot for creative writing and all things social? - there's a future in tech and digital for you.

An apprenticeship is a modern, hands-on way to train for a career. It's a full-time job involving studying and on-the-job training, giving you work-ready skills and an industry-recognised qualification (up to degree level!). You also get to earn while you learn and unlock a world of possibilities.

Apprenticeships are the perfect choice for starting your career with a leading company, a cost-effective alternative to university or a great way to simply change your career path or specialise in a different sector.

Hiru's journey

Let Hiru tell you how he's benefited from a QA apprenticeship, on his journey from English teacher to software developer at Amazon.

Find your dream apprenticeship role in your ideal tech discipline and apply for the job - find out more below. Once successful you will start your new career as a paid full-time apprentice.

You'll have a line manager, take home a salary at the end of the month and have access to employee benefits such as annual leave, pension scheme etc. You'll spend 80% of your time at your job.

You'll spend the rest of the time on your training programme with QA, a flexible blend of virtual and face-to-face learning sessions. You'll gain knowledge through a combination of project and lab work.

You'll be supported all your way to your End Point Assessment, where you can showcase the skills that you've learned and earn an industry-recognised qualification in your chosen specialism.

Aged 16 and over?

Able to live and work in the UK?

Passed three to five GCSEs?*

If you answered yes to these questions, then you fit the bill to apply for an apprenticeship. We're looking for anyone with a passion for tech, a willingness to learn and a dream of pushing boundaries.

Each advertised apprenticeship vacancy has different entry requirements, so be sure to check the one you're interested in to see if you're a match. If you are already working and you want to do an apprenticeship through your employer, you will need to check their specific requirements.

*Apprenticeships are open to anyone aged 16 or over. There is no upper age limit.

You must be eligible to live and work in the UK and have lived in the UK for 3 years.

You should not already have a qualification in a similar subject at the same level, or a higher level than the apprenticeship you are applying for.

We offer apprenticeship programmes in a range of tech specialisms, organised into levels.

Degree Apprenticeships

Hear how QA apprenticeships in management, data, digital support and project management have launched the careers of Georgia, Nodiya, Lawrie and Sarah.

Youness

Digital and Technology Solutions Apprenticeship

'The fact that you get to be in your dream job so early on and really experience it and have your degree paid for is perfect. If I was to describe my apprenticeship in one sentence I'd say it's a very eye-opening experience. The fact that I'm able to work with industry professionals and learn about the various aspects of the industry is amazing to me.'

Georgia

Project Management Apprenticeship

'I definitely think if you're considering university you should be considering an apprenticeship at the same time. Just having the opportunity to earn while you learn has meant that I'm on my way to getting on the property ladder, which is amazing, and I never expected to be here at 21.'

Nodiya

Data & Analytics Apprenticeship at NatWest

'Originally I was trying to get into med school but couldn't garner enough funding. I had heard about apprenticeships in school before so I thought I should give that a try. Now, I'm getting paid to learn something I love to do and I really do feel I could become anything and that the sky's the limit. I think apprenticeships are inclusive, flexible and challenging.'

In the last decade, we've jump-started the careers of over 30,000 eager learners, introducing them to leading employers, from quirky local businesses to corporate giants.

A staggering 91% of our apprentices go straight into full-time work, while 70% feel more confident and better prepared for work-life than most people their age.

By sticking with us, you can take your learning from entry level 3 (A level equivalent) and work your way up to a bachelor's or master's degree.

Support & Safeguarding

QA's Learner Services Team is dedicated to providing all-round support for your apprenticeship, including learning support and safeguarding. Read our safeguarding policy here.

Frequently asked questions

Apprentices must spend 20% of their working time studying for their qualification. How this is structured is up to the employer, the apprentice, and the training provider to work out. The two common options are:

Four days working and one day of study per week.

Block release: You study for one or two weeks at a time and then work for one or two weeks at a time.

For apprenticeships in Scotland:
We suggest that all learners are given a minimum of 2 hours per week to work on their apprenticeship portfolio. As well as this, the learner will likely attend some training courses throughout their apprenticeship programme to complement their job role and support their learning.

Yes. An apprenticeship is just another route into work and all apprentices are entitled to the same benefits as permanent employees - a salary, annual leave, and sick pay.
