106 Higher Apprenticeships 108 Are you an employer interested in apprenticeships? 110 Where to find us The information printed in this guide was correct at the time of printing but maybe subject to change over the course of the year. Apprenticeship details will be kept up-to-date on our website â&#x20AC;&#x201C; please check for the latest information.

Welcome to our Apprenticeships Guide Apprenticeships are one of the fastest-growing educational pathways as they offer a fantastic alternative to traditional routes like A Levels or vocational qualifications. To become an apprentice you can already be employed, or we can help you find a job. And while you’re employed and getting paid, you’ll also receive training both at work and at College. Being able to earn and learn is one of the key reasons why apprenticeships are so popular. City of Bristol College works with a huge number of employers in the area to create apprenticeship vacancies. We’re one of the leading providers in the region so I’m sure we have a programme that suits your needs. Do take a look through the guide for full details of the apprenticeship programmes we offer and if you need any advice along the way, call the Apprenticeship Recruitment Team who are here to help. I wish you good luck in your search and hope we can help you take your career to the next level. Lee Probert Principal and Chief Executive

You must be employed for a minimum of 30 hours per week with an employer who has agreed your apprenticeship placement.

How long will it take? Your apprenticeship will take between one and five years to complete, depending upon the level of apprenticeship and the industry sector. You will be required to complete the full length of your apprenticeship to achieve the qualification.

Higher Apprenticeships As well as Intermediate and Advanced Apprenticeships we also offer Higher Apprenticeships which are an excellent alternative route to traditional university study. In most instances you will need to be employed as a senior member of staff responsible for managing your own projects or overseeing the work of others in your team. How valuable is the qualification?

What are the entry requirements?

Higher Apprenticeships are Level 4 or 5 qualifications which are equivalent to HNCs or HNDs and even Foundation Degrees. At City of Bristol College our Higher Apprenticeships are awarded by industry recognised bodies such as the Chartered Management Institute, Pearson, City & Guilds and Excellence, Achievement & Learning Limited (EAL).

To start or apply for a Higher Apprenticeship you will need to have achieved a Level 3 qualification in areas such as A Levels, BTEC Diploma, NVQ or an Advanced Apprenticeship. In some instances you may need to have previously achieved a qualification relevant to the industry you are specialising in, for example, engineering or ICT.

Do I need to have an employer? You will need to be in full-time employment with an employer who has agreed to your apprenticeship. You can start an apprenticeship with your existing employer or apply for employer vacancies by visiting cityofbristol.ac.uk

How will I be assessed? You will be visited in the workplace by a College assessor and in some instances you may also need to attend classroom tuition either one day each week or for a period of block tuition. This will depend on the requirements of your apprenticeship and your responsibilities at work.

Any fees or funding? As with other higher national qualifications tuition fees will apply for learners over the age of 19. Many employers will fund or part-fund the tuition fees but this will vary between organisations. If you are responsible for paying your own tuition fees you may be eligible for funding depending on your previous qualifications and the specific suite of qualifications included within your programme. You may also be able to apply for a HE Tuition Fee Loan, a Professional and Career Development Loan (PCDL) or a combination of the two. For more information contact our welfare team on: 0117 312 5000.
