"What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a paid job that combines work with study. You’ll spend most of your time gaining hands-on experience in a real role, and the rest working towards a formal qualification. Unlike full-time study, you earn a salary and are part of a team but you also get regular, dedicated time for learning each week.
Apprenticeships are available at different levels, from programmes equal to GCSEs right up to those equivalent to a master’s degree. The type and level you can apply for depends on your location in the UK, your qualifications, and the entry requirements of the apprenticeship.
This makes apprenticeships a flexible route into work, whether you're just starting out or looking to upskill in a specific industry."
