What is an Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships are flexible training programmes tailored to meet the needs of a business. They combine practical and theoretical skills, and are designed to help employees reach a high level of competency and performance. The apprentice earns while they learn in a way best suited to many - through hands on experience.
An Apprenticeship is not a qualification in itself, but a 'framework' containing a number of separately certified qualifications and courses, which cover the skills, competence and knowledge required for a job.
