APPRENTICESHIPS
Curtis Bricklaying
If you feel ready to start work then an apprenticeship could be the right move for you. You will learn on the job, gain a qualification and earn a wage. Sound good? We work with employers from a wide variety of industries with apprenticeship vacancies, so we can help you find the right opportunity.
WHAT WILL I DO? We will match you with local employers who are looking for an apprentice, guiding you through the application process. Once successful you will start work, learning the skills of the job as you go. On some apprenticeships you will spend one day a week at College. Apprenticeships last between one and four years.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU? If you are looking to start work straight away and prefer to learn in the working environment, then this could be the route for you. This is your opportunity to impress, so you will need to work hard, show dedication, determination and enthusiasm.
YOU NEED: Entry requirements vary depending on the apprenticeship but all require that: • You are 16 or over • You live in England and are not taking part in full-time education • You may need to come into College one day a week if your apprenticeship is in a trade such as construction, hair or beauty
ENGLISH AND MATHS You will study functional skills in English and maths if you haven’t already achieved grade 9-4/A*-C at GCSE level. The grades you need vary depending on what level of apprenticeship you are studying. In some cases you will study ICT as part of your apprenticeship framework.
FYI: The way apprenticeships work has changed and they now include an end point assessment. This assessment may include a professional discussion with an external assessor, an apprenticeship showcase (a bit like a portfolio), an observation in your workplace or a practical demonstration. Your assessor will let you know which applies to you.
