What is an Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships combine practical training in a job with study.
As an apprentice you’ll:
- work alongside experienced staff
- gain job-specific skills
- earn a wage and get holiday pay
- study towards a related qualification (usually one day a week)


Am I too old to take an Apprenticeship?
There is no upper age limit. If you are already employed and would like to go on to an Apprenticeship programme, ask your employer to get in touch with us and we can tell them how we can you get you started.

An Apprenticeship is an achievement to be proud of; it’s a real job where you earn a wage, receive training and gain qualifications all at the same time.
