An apprenticeship is a real job with training and a salary which can lead you on to a higher level or degree apprenticeship, university or work. You will spend an average of 6 hours a week completing off-the-job training, usually on-site, remotely at home, or at a college or university campus, and the rest of the time in your job.

Apprenticeship opportunities and information

You don’t apply to colleges or universities for apprenticeships. As apprenticeships are jobs, you find and apply for apprenticeships in a similar way. Some colleges may help employers to find an apprentice, but you shouldn’t rely on this if an apprenticeship is what you really want to do. For more information on becoming an apprentice, including how to find and apply for apprenticeship opportunities, visit Become an apprentice.

For more information on creating an apprenticeship opportunity, finding a training provider and recruiting an apprentice, visit Hire an apprentice.

For more information on the types of qualifications, you could study for as an apprentice, visit the Institute for Apprenticeships & Technical Education. If you find an apprenticeship qualification you’re interested in, you can put your postcode in the 'Find an apprenticeship' box on the qualification details page to check for opportunities providing that qualification.
