Earning while you learn by studying an Apprenticeship is a great option if you enjoy practical, on-the-job training – with the added benefit of getting paid to do it!

We offer apprenticeships from Level 2 up to Level 5, giving you the chance to secure a qualification while gaining valuable experience in the workplace.

You will work with a mentor to learn job-specific skills with your employer, while 20 per cent of your time will be spent away from the workplace at college.

Why choose an Apprenticeship?

By becoming an apprentice, you will:

• Learn practical skills in state of the art facilities
• Gain nationally-recognised qualifications designed with the help of employers
• Benefit from our expert teachers, who all have industry experience and knowledge
• Earn a wage as well as training
• Improve your general skills, including communication, team working, creative thinking and time-management and grow your self-confidence.

What Apprenticeships could you do?

We offer 16 different Apprenticeship pathways – from Childcare to Engineering and Construction to Business Administration. To find out more about these, you can click here to see our full range of apprenticeships in our apprenticeships leaflet.
