An apprenticeship is a real job where you learn, gain experience and get paid. You are an employee with a contract of employment and holiday leave. By the end of an apprenticeship, you will have the right skills and knowledge needed for your chosen career.
Apprenticeships can take a minimum of 12 months to complete but most can take longer to achieve depending on which one you choose, what level it is and your previous experience. An apprenticeship is funded from contributions made by the government and your employer.
There is no upper age limit on becoming an Apprentice however you must be of school leaving age before you can enrol. Apprenticeships are suitable for new recruits to a business and also for people upskilling in their careers or those looking for a complete career change.
