Entry requirements are flexible because apprenticeships aren't
based on academic achievements. What counts are practical skills
and an interest in your chosen area of work.
Types of apprenticeship
Apprentices spend roughly one day a week at college and the rest
of the time working for a company. There are three levels of
Apprenticeship available if you are over 16:
Intermediate Apprenticeships (equivalent to five good GCSE
passes)
Apprentices work towards work-based learning qualifications such
as an NVQ Level 2, Key Skills and, in some cases, a relevant
knowledge-based qualification such as a BTEC. These provide the
skills you need for your chosen career and allow entry to an
Advanced Apprenticeship.
Advanced Apprenticeships (equivalent to two A level
passes)
Advanced apprentices work towards work-based learning
qualifications such as NVQ Level 3, Key Skills and, in most cases,
a relevant knowledge based certificate such as a diploma. To start
this programme, you should ideally have five GCSEs (grade C or
above) or have completed an Apprenticeship.
Higher Apprenticeships
Higher Apprenticeships work towards work-based learning
qualifications such as NVQ Level 4 and, in some cases, a
knowledge-based qualification such as a foundation degree.
