Key Components of Apprenticeships for Students
On-the-Job Training
Students will work alongside experienced professionals, gaining practical, job-specific skills in real-world scenarios. This hands-on experience helps them to develop a deep understanding of their chosen field.
Off-the-Job Training
Apprenticeships also include structured study time, typically making up at least 20% of the apprentice's working hours. This training is usually provided by a college or training provider and is designed to complement their practical work.
Regular Assessments
Throughout the apprenticeship, students are assessed regularly to ensure they are meeting industry standards and successfully consolidating their training and skills development.

Myth 1
Apprentices have to be a certain age.
Truth
Anyone can be an apprentice, as long as they are over 16 years of age.
Myth 2
Apprenticeships are only available in manual industries.
Truth
Apprenticeships are available in a huge number of industries. Our apprenticeships cover 30 different sectors, from Pharmacy, Dental Nursing and Health and Social Care to Digital, Management, and many more.
Myth 3
Apprentices never earn very much.
Truth
When an apprentice first starts, they’ll be on the apprentice minimum wage but many employers pay more than this. In the long term, an apprenticeship could lead to a higher than average paid job, with some people earning between £77,000 and £117,000 more over their lifetime than similar learners who have a Level 2 qualification.
