Apprenticeships and training
Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships combine real-world work experience with off-the-job training. You'll spend most of your time with an employer, learning on the job, and the rest completing online or classroom-based learning through a training provider. They typically last between one and four years, depending on the level. The National Apprenticeships Service is a useful website listing apprenticeships. Search and apply for apprenticeships based on location, distance, keywords and levels.
