Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships provide the chance to ‘earn and learn’ in a wide range of jobs and sectors and give you the chance to develop skills, experience and qualifications.
There are currently two levels of Apprenticeships for those aged 16 – 24;
- Apprenticeship ( NVQ 2)
- Advanced Apprenticeship (NVQ 3)
Apprenticeships and Advanced Apprenticeships are made up of four components:
- A National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) – the sector / industry – based vocational element.
- A technical certificate to show you understand the underpinning theory or knowledge.
- Key skills – including communication skills and application of number, plus wider key and business skills as required by the sector.
- Employment rights and responsibilities in the workplace.
