Apprenticeships and Advanced Apprenticeships combine work and training to offer a programme, which includes:

° A wage of a minimum of £80.00 per week
° A real job with an employer
° A nationally recognised framework of vocational qualifications.

The Apprenticeships form a key part of work based learning, which leads to a framework of qualifications.  Quite simply, they are a partnership between the employer, learning provider and the learner.  Apprenticeships are available to learners of all ages ranging from school and college leavers (fourteen to twenty four years of age) to the Adult Apprenticeship (twenty five years plus)

The Apprenticeship offers benefits to those learners who:

° Are taking the first steps of their career
° May be looking to move into a new occupation
° Are hoping for career progression
° Need formal training to support practical knowledge
° Want to broaden their expertise
° Would like to increase knowledge and confidence 


The Apprenticeship programme will provide the learner with the knowledge, skills and experience required to enable them to confidently complete a variety of tasks within their job roles.  The Advanced Apprenticeship is for those learners with more responsibility in their job.
