As an Apprentice you will be employed from the very start of your training and receive a wage from your employer. You will then be given the chance to develop expertise and knowledge through on-the-job assessment as well as gaining vital skills such as team work and problem solving.

The majority of Apprentices also attend colleges or training centres to study the underpinning knowledge necessary for your occupation. To make sure the combination of theory and practice is right for you a Training Agreement will be drawn up that is unique to you. With the right combination of theory and practice your career will be on track and you will gain a nationally recognised qualification - up to a N/SVQ at Level 3.
