An apprenticeship is a structured training arrangement of usually 3.5 or four years duration. It is a learning pathway that combines paid on-the-job training and formal study with a Registered Training Organisation. It’s a great way to gain a nationally recognised qualification while earning a wage working in under an employment, rather than have to choose one over the other! As an apprentice or trainee you will finish your higher-learning journey equipped with practical skills AND a formal education.
There are further Eligibility Criteria for undertaking a qualification under Apprenticeship pathway.
