Apprenticeships are a combination of working and studying. An apprentice is an employee, working alongside experienced staff gaining job-specific knowledge, skills and behaviours.

You can embark onto an apprenticeship once you have completed year 11. You cannot do an apprenticeship while you are still in compulsory education.

An apprenticeship is for anyone aged 16+.

They range from Level 2 all the way up to Level 7.

There are over 800 apprenticeship standards approved for delivery. All current apprenticeship standards that have been approved for delivery can be found here - IFATE
