Move on up

There are different levels of apprenticeships available but they all lead to NVQs, key skills qualifications and, in most cases, a technical certificate such as BTEC or City & Guilds. Candidates need to be resident in the UK, aged 16-24 and not taking part in full-time education. There are two ways to apply. It can be done by approaching an employer who takes on apprentices or through the Learning & Skills Council. The LSC will link candidates to a training provider who can then try to find a match with an employer. An apprenticeship can take anything from 12 to 24 months and the amount of study time will vary depending on the course being aimed for.
