Apprenticeships

Each level has it's own entry requirements.                                                     You need to pay close attention to what each of them means...

• Intermediate Level Apprenticeships: 

These qualifications are also known as Level 2's, and generally require grade 5 in Maths and English to secure the role. To be competent in some trades, you must complete this level before progressing onto an advanced apprenticeship.

• Advanced Level Apprenticeships: 

These qualifications are also known as Level 3's, and are generally equal to two A-Levels.  Entry requirements for these apprenticeships are normally 5 GCSE's grade 4 or higher including maths and English.  Check with the training provider that you're eligible if you have already gained an A level in the subject.

• Higher Level Apprenticeships: 

These apprenticeships are classed as Level 4 or 5, which are a progression for year 13 leavers. This qualification is equivalent to a Foundation Degree, or HNC/HND. Entry requirements differ depending on the company, some expect GCSE's and others require A levels. 

• Degree Apprenticeships: 

These apprenticeships can last between 3 - 5 years, through which you will achieve an Honours or Masters degree when you complete. You will require A levels, or a set number of UCAS points to be eligible for these programmes. Additionally, although all apprenticeships are paid, these roles, have a greater competitive salary and your employer pays the university fees.
