FAQs
Where are the placements based?
There are many opportunities available at GSK sites
across the country. To find out the nearest
apprenticeship opportunity to you, please visit
our website www.gsk.com/apprenticeships
When does the scheme start?
If you are successful, and providing you meet the
grades required by your role, you will join our
apprenticeship scheme along with the other
apprentices at the start of the academic year – usually
in August or September, depending on location.
What are my career prospects at GSK?
We are committed to developing our employees and
their careers. A GSK apprenticeship will give you a
chance to learn your trade while gaining real industry
experience. Statistics show that,
over the course of their career, people with
apprenticeships earn on average £100,000
more than those without.

Do I have to pay anything to become an
apprentice?
No – quite the reverse. While you are a GSK apprentice,
we will pay your salary as you undertake on-the-job
training. Any additional training expenditure or fees will
be covered either by GSK or the National
Apprenticeship Service.
Do I have to pay National Insurance?
Yes. As you are over 16, you will have to pay
tax and National Insurance on your income.
