Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships provide the chance to ‘earn and learn’ in a wide range of jobs and sectors and give you the chance to develop skills, experience and qualifications.

There are currently three levels of Apprenticeships for those aged 16 – 24

• Apprenticeship ( NVQ 2)

• Advanced Apprenticeship (NVQ 3)

• Higher Apprenticeship (NVQ 4)

Apprenticeships and Advanced Apprenticeships are made up of four components:  

• A National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) – the sector / industry – based vocational element.
• A technical certificate to show you understand the underpinning theory or knowledge.
• Key skills – including communication skills and application of number, plus wider key and business skills as required by the sector.
• Employment rights and responsibilities in the workplace.
