Apprenticeships

Your assessor will come to your workplace to visit you regularly to support you with the completion of your qualification or you will attend workshops at the College. Within your apprenticeship you will have the choice of some optional units which will be chosen by you, your line manager and the assessor. This could give you the chance to gain some new skills and work within a different area.

You will build up a portfolio of evidence that will prove your understanding of the course. In addition, you will complete your functional skills qualifications, if required.

They are a nationally recognised qualification that is valued by employers and Universities.

You will gain knowledge and valuable skills upon completion.

Apprentices are also provided with a real physical experience with working, something schools and colleges don’t offer.

Apprentices earn an average wage of £270 per week.

Going to university costs an average £9k per year with an apprenticeship you are earning whilst learning therefore there is no large debt at the end.

Apprenticeships offer a varied learning experience. You won’t have to spend all of your time studying; most of the time you’ll be working within your company and gaining valuable experience.

Apprenticeships offer great progression opportunities to progress onto Level 3 and Level 4 qualifications further enhancing your CV.
