Apprenticeships are the Governments flagship programme for entering the workforce in all sectors and apprentices learn on the job, building up knowledge and skills, gaining qualifications and earning money at the same time.

- Intermediate Apprenticeships usually last at least a year and apprentices work towards a National Vocational Qualification at Level 2, Key Skills and in most cases a technical certificate.
- Advanced Apprenticeships usually last at least two years and apprentices work towards a National Vocational.
- Qualification at Level 3, Key Skills and a technical certificate.
Apprenticeships offer your business:
- Training for all your existing staff and new recruits in a wide range of areas.
- A competitive edge by developing the kind of people your business needs for the future.
- Relevant training designed by business for business.
