Why become an apprentice?
Apprenticeships are an opportunity to build up work experience and gain knowledge of the
work environment. In comparison to a "just qualified” graduate you will have 7 years more
experience.
A Level 3 Apprenticeship qualification is recognised by future employers as the equivalent
of 2 A Levels A-C.
You earn a wage, get a recognised qualification and do not build up tuition fee debts.
It is a great way to start your career and can lead to many paths and opportunities in
various roles across your chosen sector.
