Apprenticeships
Seen the Alan Sugar adverts on TV? Want to know more? Well an apprenticeship provides an opportunity to learn a particular job or trade while at work. This may involve working with an employer usually four days per week plus one day at college or with a training provider to study towards achieving a qualification such as an NVQ (National Vocational Qualification).
Apprenticeships can be competitive and you will often have to look for an employer yourself. Entry requirements for apprenticeships vary – some C grades at GCSE usually are required. You will get paid but the amount will depend on the type of apprenticeship you are doing and the company you are doing it with. For further information see www.apprenticeships.org.uk or Contact Us
