ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
To be considered for an apprenticeship programme in England, applicants need to be:
aged 16 or over
living in England
not in full-time education
Each level has different entry requirements, and each apprenticeship vacancy will specify what these are, along with the qualities the employer is looking for. For higher and degree apprenticeships, employers generally ask for A Levels and other Level 3 qualifications.
Over 70 universities and around 200 colleges are approved to deliver higher and degree apprenticeships.
THE APPLICATION PROCESS
Apprenticeship vacancies are advertised by the companies recruiting, in the same way a job would be. Vacancies with larger firms often start appearing from September, but most start to be advertised from January or February onwards. Smaller businesses might start recruiting a month or two before the job starts, so if you hope to start work in August or September, start looking from March/April onwards.
If you are interested in working for a particular employer, take a look at their website, most have a page on careers, apprenticeships, or vacancies. If you are interested in a particular apprenticeship job role, you can filter your search for these on the vacancy listing.
