APPRENTICESHIPS Apprenticeships combine paid work with theoretical learning. They allow you to develop and apply the skills, knowledge and understanding required by employers in particular jobs. All Apprenticeships include a number of qualifications including a competence-based Certificate or Diploma, Functional Skills in English and maths and, sometimes, information technology.

BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT

With some Apprenticeships, job-specific knowledge and skills are taught as a separate qualification. Apprenticeships also include awareness of employment rights and responsibilities as well as personal learning and thinking skills. There are no specific entry requirements to become an apprentice; however an employer may specify entry requirements for a particular job role, which may include English and maths. Apprenticeships are available at three levels: An Intermediate Apprenticeship is ideal if you are in a first job or have changed jobs and need to learn new skills. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work towards Level 2 qualifications (equivalent to 5 GCSEs at grades A* - C) and Level 1 Functional Skills. An Advanced Apprenticeship builds on the skills and knowledge achieved through experience or an Intermediate Apprenticeship. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work towards Level 3 qualifications (equivalent to A Levels) and Level 2 Functional Skills. A Higher Apprenticeship is equivalent to a foundation degree and you will need to have relevant employment experience in order to begin this course of training.
