An apprenticeship is a paid job that involves the completion of an apprenticeship course alongside your job role, meaning you can earn while you learn and gain real-world on-the-job experience. All our courses are delivered by experienced tutors at your place of work, without the need to travel elsewhere for training.

An apprenticeship is a fantastic alternative to college or university, allowing you to gain invaluable hands on experience alongside a nationally recognised certificate, equipping you with the essential skills and knowledge required to excel in your career.

To qualify for an apprenticeship, you must meet the following criteria:

• be aged 16+ at the time of enrolment
• be a citizen of the UK or European Economic Area (EEA), or have lived in the UK or EEA for the past three consecutive years
• not already be in full-time education at the point of enrolment
• not already hold a qualification at level 4 or above in the same area that you wish to study

Apprentice wages start at a minimum of £4.81 per hour, however many of our positions pay more.

Apprentices are entitled to at least 28 days annual leave per year – the same statutory minimum as normal employees. Employers often subtract the 8 public holidays from this allowance each year.

Our dedicated tutors will regularly visit your workplace to deliver flexible training on a one-to-one basis at your company. As well as regular on-site visits, all our learners have access to an industry leading e-portfolio system that allows 24/7 access to digital learning aids, ensuring you have access to everything you need to support your learning.

We offer apprenticeships in a range of different sectors. For a full list of the courses we deliver, click here, or to search our live apprenticeship vacancies visit our Job Search page here.

In order to complete an apprenticeship, you must be employed a minimum of 30 hours per week. Our talent partners work hard to ensure we find you a role that suits your personality and meets your career aspirations. You can browse our current apprenticeship vacancies on our Job Search page.

An apprenticeship typically lasts one year, although higher level apprenticeships can last up to 18 months.

Certificates are usually available 6-8 weeks from the apprenticeship end date. You will be given the option to collect these at your nearest Apprenticeship Connect office, or have them posted to an address of your choice.

At the end of your apprenticeship, your employer will decide whether they will continue to employ you as a full-time member of staff and you’ll have the opportunity to decide which steps you take next. Most of our apprentices choose to continue working at the same company, but others decide to move on and apply their new skills and knowledge elsewhere. You may also wish to progress onto a further training course with Apprenticeship Connect, and if so your tutor will advise you of what the best step is for you to take.

We provide additional support to apprentices with learning difficulties such as dyslexia and those with physical disabilities such as visual or hearing impairments. We can provide resources such as a scribe or large-print documents, and can facilitate other reasonable adjustments to ensure that an apprentice with learning difficulties or a physical disability is not at a disadvantage when completing the course.
