FAQs
Why Should You Choose An Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships are an excellent way of gaining qualifications
and workplace skills. Open to people of all ages, you can earn as
you learn and gain practical experience from the workplace whilst
increasing your confidence and setting you on the road to a successful
career.
What Are Apprenticeships?
As an alternative to full-time education,
Apprentices get real paid work
experience whilst studying towards
a nationally recognised qualification,
which are highly valued by employers in
today’s competitive jobs market.
An Apprenticeship can last between
12 months and four years, dependant
on the type of Apprenticeship. Training
combines off the job study (usually at
college) with learning and development
in the workplace. Therefore, as an
Apprentice you will be in the workplace
for most of the time, working alongside
experienced staff to gain job-specific
skills. Throughout the duration of
your Apprenticeship you will have
the support of a highly experienced
assessor who will visit you in your work
place and review the skills you have
learnt.
4
How Much Do Apprentices Get Paid?
If you’re under 19 your employer has
to pay you at least the Apprentice
minimum wage. However, as your
training progresses many employers
tend to increase wages in-line with
developing skills and industry specific
knowledge. Recent research indicated
that many Apprentices in England earn
an average net pay £170 per week.
If you’re 19 when you’ve completed the
first year of your Apprenticeship, your
employer has to pay you at least the full
national minimum wage. You’ll also get
at least 20 days paid holiday a year, plus
bank holidays – the same as any other
employee.
How Many Hours Does An
Apprentice Work?
All Apprentices work a minimum of 30
hours a week, this includes any training
time at college (off-the-job) and with
the employer (on-the-job). You must
be paid for all the time you spend
training, whether it is at college or in the
workplace.
• A National Vocational Qualification
(Level 2 for Apprenticeships, Level 3
for Advanced Apprenticeships)
• Key Transferable Skills
• A Technical Certificate
• Functional Skills
These strands are sometimes
accompanied by additional
elements to give the most
relevant skills and knowledge
required for the job. You’ll
also receive specific
on-the-job training
related to your
role.
W
What Are The Benefits Of An
Apprenticeship?
• You get to experience new and
different challenges
• Your existing skills and knowledge are
recognised and can help you gain a
qualification faster
• You learn at your own pace and get
support when you need it
• Better job security
• You gain skills and knowledge which
can be used across a range of jobs
and industries
• You will be earning a regular income
whilst getting the training you need to
further your career
What Qualifications Will I Gain?
An Apprenticeship is essentially a set
of qualifications called a ‘framework’
developed by Sector Skills Councils
and Industry. Most Apprenticeship

Construction and
the Built Environment
An Apprenticeship in this sector could
teach you one of the many trades that
make our buildings work, from electrical
engineering and plumbing to maintaining
heating systems and gas networks. Or
you might get involved on the planning
side – looking at the environmental and
social impact of new developments, for
example.
Practical skills are important in this
sector, and many roles require physical
work. But there is a demand for creative
talents too in jobs like carpentry or even
making the sets for plays and films.
Being organised and self-motivated can
help you get ahead – about a third of the
people who work in the sector run their
own business.
The Apprenticeships covered in this
sector area are as follows:
• Site Carpentry & Joinery
• Bench Carpentry & Joinery
• Bricklaying
• Plastering
• Painting & Decorating
• General Construction Operations
• Maintenance Operations
• Electrical Installation
• Plumbing & Heating (Including
Renewable Technologies)
• Gas Installations
• Heating & Ventilation
• Technical & Professional Construction
• Sustainable & Built Environment
8
Future Progression
Progression can be varied from gaining
further education and skills with
Advanced Apprenticeships, Higher
Education, or embarking on a career
based on the skills you have learned in
your Apprenticeship. You may even go
on to start up your own business.
Example Job Roles
• Painter and Decorator
• Joiner
• Carpenter
• Plasterer

Case Study
“I wanted to become
an Apprentice as I believe
it is the best way for me to
progress into the career I want.
I enjoy learning on the job and
have learnt a lot of new skills from
working alongside my colleagues; I would
recommend an Apprenticeship to anyone
interested in learning a practical trade.”

Childcare and Health
& Social Care
People who work in Health, Public
Services and Care go home at the
end of the week with more than just
a pay cheque. They know their work
helps other people and makes our
society a better place.
It takes more than doctors to
keep our health service running.
Apprenticeships could lead into
a range of careers in health –
dispensing medicines in a pharmacy,
giving eye tests, working as a dental
nurse and many more.
The Apprenticeships covered in this
sector area are as follows:
• Children and Young People’s
Workforce
• Health & Social Care
Children and Young
People’s Workforce
This Apprenticeship is for people
who work with children – from birth
to 16-year-olds (and their families)
– in settings or services whose
main purpose is children’s care,
learning and development. Workers
in this area make sure children are
looked after, kept active, happy and
nourished. They also help children
develop social and practical skills.
This Apprenticeship gives people
a fulfilling opportunity to work with
children and young people while
also gaining an understanding
into the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of their
10
development. Equally, it ensures
candidates put childcare theory into
practice.
As an apprentice, the exact nature
of your job role will depend on your
employer. The Intermediate Level
Apprenticeship is for those working
under supervision such as a nursery
assistant or playgroup assistant
working with children under five.
Future Progression
The Advanced Level Apprenticeship
is for those who work on their own
initiative, planning and organising
their own work and/or supervising
others, for example, a nursery nurse,
playgroup leader or a child minder
working in their own home.
After successful completion of this
Apprenticeship there is good scope
for progression. You may move
up through the levels of work, for
example, from nursery assistant to
nursery manager. There are also
opportunities to undertake further
training or assessment.
Example Job Roles
• Early Years Worker/Assistant
• Care Worker/Assistant
• Assistant Youth Support &
Community Worker
• Nursery Worker/Supervisor
• Nursery Nurse/Nursery
Teaching Assistant
Health and Social
Care
Level Apprenticeships is the level of
responsibility the person holds and
the role at which they work.
This Apprenticeship covers a wide
range of job roles on two pathways:
the Adult Social Care pathway and
the Health Care pathway. This could
mean working in the NHS, the private
sector, local authorities or in the
voluntary sectors.

for a large or small company, you could be
specialising in one area – like sales – or
doing all these tasks as well as handling
banking and petty cash. If you complete the
Higher Apprenticeship, you can progress
to full membership of the Association of
12

Apprentice Case Study
“For me, an Apprenticeship was
the ideal option as I like learning
on the job whilst being paid a
wage. Apprenticeships make you
more independent as you have the
responsibility of a job, they make
you grow up and progress more
quickly.”
Abbey Moss

Customer Service
This Apprenticeship teaches you the
skills to provide excellent customer
service, and can be applied to
hundreds of job roles across many
different sectors, from government to
telecommunications. However, most
Customer Service Apprentices work
in retail, financial services, call centres,
hospitality, or sport and recreation.
As a Customer Service Apprentice, you
will probably work at the front end of
an employer’s business activities and
regularly assist customers. Duties will
vary between sectors, but in most cases
you will be making sure that customers
are dealt with in a positive, reliable
and pleasant way – whether that is by
offering advice, answering questions or
handling complaints.

even into potential management roles.

Team Leader
To properly assist customers, you will

Hospitality, Retail &
Leisure
Hospitality and Catering Apprenticeships
provides learners with skills in specialist
areas of expertise. Areas range from
professional cookery, customer service
and food & beverage service to
management and leadership.
The Apprenticeships covered in this
sector area are as follows:
• Catering & Hospitality
• Retail Management
• Sport Development
• Sport Coaching
• Hairdressing
• Beauty Therapy
Hospitality
Work in hospitality is incredibly broad,
and can cover hotels, restaurants, bars,
pubs, hotels, clubs and more! Essentially
the business is all about customer
service, whether this is making sure food
is served on time or that a hotel room is
ready to use.
The advantage of an Apprenticeship in
this sector is the formal qualifications
you will receive. While the hospitality
trade is well known for training up
employees, often from scratch, only
3% of that training leads to nationally
recognised qualifications. This even
extends to managers, who can often be
under trained for their position.
16
Future Progression
This Apprenticeship gives Apprentices a
real kick-start in this sector, with scope
for quick progression to Advanced
Apprenticeships and successful careers
such as restaurant or hotel supervisor/
managers.

• Bar/Cellar Person
• Housekeeper/Room Attendant

employers of young people in the UK.

establishment, from local pubs to silver
service Michelin Star restaurants! In
recent years, there has been a real focus
on meals being made from scratch, not
least because of the negative health
implications that comes along with

Retail
Management
This is a fantastic Apprenticeship in
terms of career prospects. Around 1.4
million new positions are expected
to open up in retail in the next 3
years, and to keep up with demand,
around 400,000 new supervisory and
leadership employees are needed every
year.
Research has shown that retail
employers actively use Apprenticeships
as a source of future talent in Retail
Management, and retailers are keen to
make a long-term commitment to their
Apprentices.
Future Progression
Retail is famously a sector which
rewards dedication and hard
work with quick career
progression. This is
especially the case
with younger people,
with individuals in
their late teens and
18
early twenties often finding themselves
in positions such as section or team
leader. The Higher Apprenticeship
is especially suited for management
positions, and provides Apprentices with
the business and managerial skills they
need to progress.
Job Roles
• Retail Supervisor
• Team Leader
• Store/Department Manager
• Sales Manager
• Assistant Store Manager
• Operations Manager

Case Study
Sport
Development
Sports development
involves organising projects,
programmes and training
to encourage people to increase their
activity and have a healthier lifestyle.
The work is challenging and varied
and may include the development of
performance sport, community sport and
physical activity and/or participation for
particular target groups.
Sports development officers will typically
be responsible for working with local
communities to identify the need and
demand for new activities, improving
access to sport for young people,
people with disabilities and people
from disadvantaged communities, and
supporting community amateur sports
clubs.
Typical tasks involved in sports
development can include; making sure
resources are used and all available
funding is accessed; putting local and
national policies into practice; identifying
opportunities for funding; organising,
promoting and running projects;
monitoring and evaluating projects;
attending meetings, seminars and
conferences and finding and training
suitable staff, coaches and volunteers for
projects. You may also need to manage
resources and budgets.
“I chose an
Apprenticeship as I enjoy
learning through gaining
practical experience and being
able to implement new skills in a
work environment. I have also been
able to access unique opportunities
since starting my Apprenticeship,
which wouldn’t have been available
to me otherwise.”

Officer, Salford Red Devils Foundation
Future Progression
The Advanced Level Apprenticeship
in Sports Development provides a
vocational pathway into the profession of
sports development. The Apprenticeship
can provide a progression opportunity
for Apprentices on an intermediate level
programme as well as progression for
those already working in the sector.
It’s also suitable for those who wish to
change their career and retrain to enter
the sector at this level.
Job Roles
• Community Sports
Development Officer
• Sports Specific
Development

Sport
Coaching
A career in coaching
is geared towards those
who are looking for sports
leadership opportunities.
Generally, work in this area is
community based, e.g. coaching
a local football team or working for a
regional sports society. Across schools,
youth clubs, leisure centres and sports
clubs there are around 1.1 million
coaches currently in the UK.
The Government has put in place plans
to get many more adults active, as well
as young people, so there is a big call for
trained coaches at all levels.
The demand for competent, qualified
sports coaches has risen because of the
popularity of sports in the UK, and the
fact that often coaches are volunteers
and so may be under-skilled.
The Apprenticeship level you need to
obtain depends on both the sport you
want to coach and the level you want
to coach at, as some sports are more
technical than others.
20
Future Progression
Progression in this Apprenticeship
could lead to coaching roles in different
types of sports clubs or educational
establishments. Once you are a qualified
and experienced coach, you could
become a coach development officer. In
this role you would help other coaches
develop their skills and qualifications.

Hairdressing
This Apprenticeship
covers all the basics of
hairdressing. As a Hairdressing
Apprentice, you will work as a
salon junior, assisting senior staff
while training as a junior stylist.
Duties are likely to include booking
appointments, shampooing, conditioning,
drying and styling hair, and mixing and
applying hair colouring. You will study
hairdressing topics such as hair and skin
testing, the effects of chemicals on hair
and skin, and the principles of hair colour
selection – there’s also the option to
learn about promoting products, perming,
or relaxing different types of hair.
Future Progression
Advanced Apprentices take their learning
a step further by developing their cutting
and colouring skills so they can carry out
all the latest fashion techniques – and
maybe even determine the fashion looks
of the future.
Example Job Roles
• Junior Stylist
• Stylist
• Hairdresser
Beauty Therapy
This Apprenticeship is about improving
people’s wellbeing by making them look
and feel better. Beauty therapy covers a
range of treatments, from simple facials
and make-up jobs to waxing.
As a Beauty Therapy Apprentice, you
will assist senior therapists and learn a
range of skills and techniques, such as
how to improve facial skin conditions,
wax body hair, spray tan, shape and
colour brows, perform hand and
foot treatments, and apply
make-up.
You will work closely
with clients and will need
the ability to put them at
ease, and generally be pleasant
and personable.
Most therapists are based in salons,
although some can work in hospitals,
resorts, and even cruise liners. It can be
a glamorous career choice: with further
training you might become a make-up
artist for film and TV, or help develop
new products. In the future you might
run your own salon, or work for individual
clients.
Future Progression
On the Advanced Apprenticeship, you
will work as a beauty therapist, learning
techniques like body massage as
well as more complicated electronic
treatments to remove unwanted hair or
improve skin condition. After successful
completion of an Apprenticeship, you
could go on to study specialist areas like
massage, aromatherapy, hydrotherapy or
reflexology.
Example Job Roles
• Junior Beauty Therapist
• Beauty Consultant
• Junior Make-up Artist

Education
The Education and Training sector
isn’t just about teachers. In schools,
classroom assistants have a big
responsibility, helping teachers to plan
and conduct their lessons. They work
with individual students and groups of
all ages.
Education doesn’t have to happen in
a classroom. People in every walk of
life need to train and improve their
skills. That could mean a company
director attending a seminar on how
to make their business greener, older
workers going on a course to brush up
their IT skills, or restaurant staff taking
certificates in food hygiene.
Then there are the skills that people
learn within the workplace: how the new
computer system works, how to operate
machinery safely, how to deal with
customer complaints. There’s a growing
demand for people who can design and
deliver this sort of on-the-job training
effectively.
The Apprenticeships covered in this
sector area are as follows:
• Support Teaching & Learning
• Learning Development
22
Support
Teaching &
Learning
This Apprenticeship is
about providing support in
the classroom. After all, teachers
are not the only ones who make
a difference to learning in schools.
Learning support staff, such as teaching
assistants, plays a vital role in todays
classrooms by making sure students get
the most out of their lessons.
They work with teachers, carry out duties
like lesson preparation, and work with
small groups or individuals, allowing
the teacher to concentrate on teaching
the class. Some learning support staff
specialise in areas like music or special
needs.
As an Apprentice, you’ll work under the
close supervision of a class teacher.
Your duties will vary depending on
how the teachers you work with plan
their lessons and handle day-to-day
classroom activities, however, you could
find yourself supervising arts and crafts
activities, helping with outings, or reading
to the class.
Future Progression
The Advanced Level Apprenticeship
adds more responsibility to the role.
You could help plan, carry out and
evaluate a wide range of learning
activities. You will work both alongside
the teacher to support classroom
activities, and alone with individuals
or groups of students. It’s a good
stepping-stone to a Foundation Degree
or Higher Level Teaching Assistant
training.
Example Job Roles
• Teaching Assistant
• Classroom Assistant
• Learning Support Assistant
• Behaviour Support Assistant/
Coordinator
• Pastoral/Welfare Support Assistant
• Bilingual Support Assistant
• Team Leader
Learning Development
This Apprenticeship is designed for
those interested in the training/learning
and development within the work-based
learning industry.
Encouraged by Government initiatives
aimed at re-skilling and up-skilling
the national workforce, involvement
in training and developing others in
the workplace is a growing field of
employment. It is often the case that
skilled personnel are required to train
others without themselves receiving
training in how to train.
wishing to
take on a wider
training role and
move on eventually into
management.
Future Progression
At the end of your Apprenticeship,
you could be working in a stand-alone
training organisation, in a corporate
training department or as an in house
stand-alone trainer. An Apprenticeship
in Learning and Development would
also provide a sound basis to undertake
further learning and development of
your career.
Example Job Roles
• Training Development Officer
• Training Officer
• Learning Support Supervisor
• Assessor/Verifier
• Work-based Learning Co-ordinator
• Learning and Development Adviser
• Skills Trainer/Instructor
This Apprenticeship has been developed
to redress this balance and would give
you recognition of the skills of the
workplace trainer. This Apprenticeship
would also be for you if you were

Creative &
Digital Media
Chances are that you have already heard
of social media. It is one of the fastest
growing advertising and marketing tools
that businesses have at their disposal.
Many companies now have whole social
media and digital marketing (which
is any marketing using an electronic
device) teams, who are hired to, amongst
other things, increase the company’s
online presence on sites such as
Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
Because social media is constantly
evolving, and is still very new in business
terms, companies are very keen to find
young people to fill digital marketing
positions, as they are the most clued in
when it comes to new developments.
The Apprenticeships covered in this
sector area are as follows:
• Social Media
• Digital Marketing
Future Progression
An Apprenticeship in this role will
allow you to become a specialist in all
electronic marketing techniques, as
well as helping you to develop your
communication and research skills.
