Is an Apprenticeship for me?

If you can answer yes to the following questions, an Apprenticeship could be for you:

  • Do you feel committed to a particular job or career path?
  • Do you enjoy being in the workplace?
  • Are you ready for working life?
  • Are you ready for responsibility?
  • Are you ready to work in a team as well as on your own?

Am I eligible?

Apprenticeships are open to all age groups above 16, whether you are just leaving school, have been working for years or are seeking to start a new career.

You could qualify if you:

  • Live in England
  • Are not currently in full-time education
  • Do not have a university degree

Entry requirements are flexible and take into account practical skills, interests and experience, as well as academic achievement.
