An apprenticeship is a real job where you learn, gain experience and get paid. By the end of an apprenticeship, you'll have the right skills and knowledge needed for your chosen career.
As an apprentice you will:
- Learn and train for a specific job
- Get paid and receive holiday leave
- Get hands-on experience in a real job
- Spend a minimum of 6 hours a week off-the-job to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours relevant to your apprenticeship standard
- Complete assessments during and at the end of your apprenticeship

There are different rates of pay for apprentices depending on your age and what year of your apprenticeship you’re in.
Your employment contract should confirm your rate of pay.
Please visit https://www.gov.uk/become-apprentice/pay-and-conditions for the latest minimum apprenticeship wages.
You will attend college classes taking place one day per month and will also receive one-to-one support in the workplace with a dedicated Learning and Skills Coach.
You will access the End Point
Assessment after successful completion
of
all the listed qualifications and when the
Learning and Skills Coach and
Employer agree
that you are competent in the vocational area.
The End Point Assessment will be delivered in three parts, firstly, the completion of a multiple-choice test, secondly a practical observation and thirdly the Independent End Point Assessor will review the portfolio of evidence and carry out a professional discussion.
