Earn while you learn with an Apprenticeship.
“I am satisfied with the way my apprenticeship has gone and wish to continue working for Pipe Line. I will have to decide what route to take in my career if HNC becomes an option”
– Christopher Whitehead Engineering level 3
Do you want to learn new skills and get paid for it? If your answer is yes, then an Apprenticeship could be just what you’re looking for.
What is an Apprenticeship?
An Apprenticeship lets you earn while you learn as you have a job with a real local employer from the day you start. Programmes are a combination of practical, on the job training in the workplace, along with college-based learning. At the end of your Apprenticeship, you’ll have a nationally recognised qualification, great experience and excellent career prospects.
Apprenticeships are available in a wide range of popular vocations including beauty therapy, bricklaying, engineering, hairdressing, plumbing, vehicle repair, childcare and much more. Take a look at our Full-Time Courses and Apprenticeship Guide below for further details about our Apprenticeships.
Each of our Apprenticeships can be found at the end of our full-time courses within a separate grey coloured banner under each subject area.
