An apprenticeship is a paid job where an individual learns and gains valuable experiences. 

​

An apprenticeship allows individuals to earn a salary, whilst gaining a nationally recognised qualification. The training received will be practical and directly relate to their job role. An apprentice will have a contract of employment that details the same benefits as any other employee, such as paid holidays and sick pay. 

​

Apprenticeships are typically structured courses that last for a specific duration, ranging from 12-24 months.

  

 At the end of the apprenticeship, apprentices often need to pass a final exam or assessment called EPA (End Point Assessment) to demonstrate their competence in the sector.

 

After completing the program successfully, apprentices will receive a nationally recognised qualification which can enhance their career prospects and serve as proof of their skills.
