What is an ApprenticeshipWith an apprenticeship you get the whole package: - Work-based learning that’ll give you the hands-on experience you need for your chosen career.
- The qualifications and skills you’ll need to get on.
- Real pay because with an Apprenticeship you get paid as you learn.
What more could you ask for?Your employer will pay your wages and give you ‘on-the-job’ or day release training. You’ll spend time with a learning provider getting key skills that’ll be really useful in the job market.
What’s more, you’ll study for a technical certificate, which will give you a better understanding of your job.

One of the main sources of advice for young people are advisers at school or college, but young people aged between 13 and 19 can also get information and advice on careers, courses and job vacancies from Work-based Learning Providers or Connexions.

Once you contact a work based learning provider you will be asked to take an assessment and attend an interview.
The results of the assessment are used as a guide, so that you can be placed on the right level of work-based learning programme, in an area that is most suitable for you.
Remember to take your National Record of Achievement/Progress File to the interview.
