Apprenticeships are a safe and secure alternative route to university. They offer a wage, holiday pay, benefits, cover study fees and offer practical experience alongside the theory of study.
With over 600 different apprenticeships covering everything from accountancy to zoo-keeping, there is an apprenticeship out there for everyone.
Whatever the role, 80% of the paid time will be on-the-job with the employer and at least 20% of the apprentice’s paid time will be off-the-job, undertaking training or learning with the training provider.
100% of the time is paid, 100% of the fees covered and employers will range from blue chip companies to SMEs and independents.
