FAQs<br />

Why Should You Choose an <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>?<br />

<strong>Apprenticeship</strong>s are an excellent way of gaining qualifications<br />

and workplace skills. Open to people of all ages, you can earn as<br />

you learn and gain practical experience from the workplace whilst<br />

increasing your confidence and setting you on the road to a successful<br />

career.<br />

What Are <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>s?<br />

As an alternative to full-time education,<br />

Apprentices receive real paid work<br />

experience whilst studying towards<br />

a nationally recognised qualification,<br />

which are highly valued by employers in<br />

today’s competitive jobs market.<br />

An <strong>Apprenticeship</strong> can last between<br />

12 months and four years, dependant<br />

on the type of <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>. Training<br />

combines off the job study (usually at<br />

college) with learning and development<br />

in the workplace. Therefore, as an<br />

Apprentice you will be in the workplace<br />

for most of the time, working alongside<br />

experienced staff to gain job-specific<br />

skills. Throughout the duration of<br />

your <strong>Apprenticeship</strong> you will have<br />

the support of a highly experienced<br />

assessor who will visit you in your work<br />

place and review the skills you have<br />

learnt.<br />

How Much Do Apprentices Get Paid?<br />

If you’re under 19 your employer has<br />

to pay you at least the Apprentice<br />

minimum wage. However, as your<br />

training progresses many employers<br />

tend to increase wages in-line with<br />

developing skills and industry specific<br />

knowledge. Recent research indicated<br />

that many Apprentices in England earn<br />

an average net pay £170 per week.<br />

If you’re 19 when you’ve completed the<br />

first year of your <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>, your<br />

employer has to pay you at least the full<br />

national minimum wage. You’ll also get<br />

at least 20 days paid holiday a year, plus<br />

bank holidays – the same as any other<br />

employee.<br />

4


How Many Hours Does an<br />

Apprentice Work?<br />

All Apprentices work a minimum of 30<br />

hours a week, this includes any training<br />

time at college (off-the-job) and with<br />

the employer (on-the-job). You must<br />

be paid for all the time you spend<br />

training, whether it is at college or in the<br />

workplace.<br />

What Are the Benefits of an<br />

<strong>Apprenticeship</strong>?<br />

• You will be earning a regular income<br />

whilst getting the training you need to<br />

further your career<br />

• You get to experience new and<br />

different challenges<br />

• Your existing skills and knowledge are<br />

recognised and can help you gain a<br />

qualification faster<br />

• You receive support when you need it<br />

• Better job prospects<br />

• You gain skills and knowledge which<br />

can be used across a range of jobs<br />

and industries<br />

• You have the opportunity to<br />

progress with the company you<br />

are employed by<br />

EMPLOYERS THINK THAT<br />

What Qualifications Will I Gain?<br />

An <strong>Apprenticeship</strong> is essentially a set<br />

of qualifications called a ‘framework’<br />

developed by Sector Skills Councils<br />

and Industry. Most <strong>Apprenticeship</strong><br />

frameworks follow a standard format<br />

that comprises:<br />

• A National Vocational Qualification<br />

(Level 2 for <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>s, Level 3<br />

for Advanced <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>s)<br />

• Key Transferable Skills<br />

• A Technical Certificate<br />

• Functional Skills<br />

These strands are sometimes<br />

accompanied by additional<br />

elements to give the most<br />

relevant skills and knowledge<br />

required for the job. You’ll<br />

also receive specific<br />

on-the-job training<br />

related to your<br />

role.<br />

teach you one of the many trades<br />

networks. Or you might get involved on<br />

the planning side. For example, looking<br />

at the environmental and social impact<br />

of new developments.<br />

Practical skills are important in this<br />

sector, and many roles require physical<br />

work. But there is a demand for creative<br />

talents too, in jobs like carpentry or even<br />

making the sets for plays and films.<br />

Being organised and self-motivated can<br />

help you get ahead – about a third of the<br />

people who work in the sector run their<br />

own business.<br />

Sector Area Are as Follows:<br />

Future Progression<br />

Progression can be varied from gaining<br />

further education and skills with an<br />

Advanced <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>, Higher<br />

Education, or embarking on a career<br />

based on the skills you have learnt in<br />

your <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>. You may even go<br />

on to start up your own business.<br />

Childcare and Health<br />

& Social Care<br />

People who work in health, public<br />

services and care, go home at the end<br />

of the week with more than just a pay<br />

cheque. They know their work helps<br />

other people and makes our society a<br />

better place.<br />

It takes more than doctors to<br />

keep our health service running.<br />

a range of careers in health –<br />

dispensing medicines in a pharmacy,<br />

giving eye tests, working as a dental<br />

nurse and many more.<br />

practitioner roles in the care sector<br />

or management roles in care homes.<br />

The main difference between the<br />

Intermediate Level <strong>Apprenticeship</strong><br />

and Advanced Level <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>s<br />

is the level of responsibility the<br />

person holds and the role at which<br />

they work. We also offer Higher<br />

in a subject related to accounting, banking,<br />

Hospitality, Retail &<br />

Catering<br />

14<br />

This sector provides Apprentices with<br />

skills in specialist areas of expertise.<br />

Areas range from professional cookery,<br />

customer service and food and beverage<br />

service to management and leadership.<br />

Work in hospitality is incredibly broad,<br />

and can cover hotels, restaurants, bars,<br />

pubs, hotels, clubs and more. Essentially<br />

the business is all about customer<br />

service, whether this is making sure food<br />

is served on time or that a hotel room is<br />

ready to use.<br />

The advantage of an <strong>Apprenticeship</strong> in<br />

this sector is the formal qualifications<br />

you will receive. While the hospitality<br />

trade is well known for training up<br />

employees, often from scratch, only<br />

3% of that training leads to nationally<br />

recognised qualifications. This even<br />

extends to managers, who can often be<br />

under trained for their position.<br />

Retail Management is a fantastic<br />

<strong>Apprenticeship</strong> in terms of career<br />

prospects. Around 1.4 million new<br />

positions are expected to open up in<br />

retail in the next three years, and to keep<br />

up with demand, around 400,000 new<br />

supervisory and leadership employees<br />

are needed every year.<br />

The <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>s Covered in This<br />

Sector Area Are as Follows:<br />

• Food and Beverage<br />

• Food Production<br />

• Hospitality Supervision and<br />

Leadership<br />

• Housekeeping<br />

• Kitchen Services<br />

• Professional Cookery<br />

Future Progression<br />

This <strong>Apprenticeship</strong> gives Apprentices a<br />

real kick-start in this sector, with scope<br />

for quick progression to Advanced<br />

<strong>Apprenticeship</strong>s and successful careers<br />

such as restaurant or hotel supervisor/<br />

managers.<br />

With an <strong>Apprenticeship</strong> in Professional<br />

Cookery, you will gain the practical<br />

experience needed to progress, as well<br />

as the theory behind the dishes you<br />

create. Many of the new starters in this<br />

industry see it as a part-time role, so in<br />

completing an <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>, you will<br />

have a real advantage when it comes to<br />

progression to Higher <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>s<br />

and full-time employment.<br />

“I would definitely recommend an <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>;<br />

since starting at Damson, I have really<br />

progressed. I always wanted to be a chef and<br />

my <strong>Apprenticeship</strong> has allowed me to gain<br />

the experience I need to achieve my<br />

Hair & Beauty<br />

This <strong>Apprenticeship</strong> covers all the<br />

basics of hairdressing or beauty. As a<br />

Hairdressing or Beauty Apprentice, you<br />

will work assisting senior staff while<br />

training as a junior stylist.<br />

The Hairdressing <strong>Apprenticeship</strong><br />

duties are likely to include booking<br />

appointments, shampooing, conditioning,<br />

drying and styling hair, and mixing and<br />

applying hair colouring. You will study<br />

hairdressing topics such as hair and skin<br />

testing, the effects of chemicals on hair<br />

and skin, and the principles of hair colour<br />

selection – there is also the option to<br />

learn about promoting products, perming,<br />

or relaxing different types of hair.<br />

As a Beauty Therapy Apprentice, you will<br />

assist senior therapists and learn a range<br />

of skills and techniques, such as how to<br />

improve facial skin conditions, wax body<br />

hair, spray tan, shape and colour brows,<br />

perform hand and foot treatments, and<br />

apply make-up.<br />

You will work closely with clients and will<br />

need the ability to put them at ease, and<br />

generally be pleasant and personable.<br />

Most therapists are based in salons,<br />

although some can work in hospitals,<br />

resorts, and even cruise liners. It can be<br />

a glamorous career choice; with further<br />

training you might become a make-up<br />

artist for film and television, or help<br />

develop new products. In the future you<br />

might run your own salon, or work for<br />

individual clients.<br />

The <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>s Covered in This<br />

Sector Area Are as Follows:<br />

• Beauty Therapy<br />

• Hairdressing<br />

Future Progression<br />

Hair Apprentices take their learning a<br />

step further by developing their cutting<br />

and colouring skills so they can carry out<br />

all the latest fashion techniques – and<br />

maybe even determine the fashion looks<br />

of the future.<br />

Beauty Apprentices will work as a<br />

beauty therapist, learning techniques<br />

like body massage as well as more<br />

complicated electronic treatments to<br />

remove unwanted hair or improve skin<br />

condition. After successful completion<br />

of an <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>, you could go on<br />

to study specialist areas like massage,<br />

aromatherapy, hydrotherapy or<br />

reflexology.<br />

Education<br />

The education and training sector is<br />

not just about teachers. In schools,<br />

classroom assistants have a big<br />

responsibility, helping teachers to plan<br />

and conduct their lessons. They work<br />

with individual students and groups of<br />

all ages.<br />

Education does not have to happen<br />

in a classroom. People in every walk<br />

of life need to train and improve their<br />

skills. That could mean a company<br />

director attending a seminar on how<br />

to make their business greener, older<br />

workers going on a course to brush up<br />

their IT skills, or restaurant staff taking<br />

certificates in food hygiene.<br />

Then there are the skills that people<br />

learn within the workplace: how the new<br />

computer system works, how to operate<br />

machinery safely, how to deal with<br />

customer complaints. There is a growing<br />

demand for people who can design and<br />

deliver this sort of on-the-job training<br />

effectively.<br />

The <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>s Covered in This<br />

Sector Area Are as Follows:<br />

• Support Teaching and Learning<br />

Future Progression<br />

The Advanced Level <strong>Apprenticeship</strong><br />

adds more responsibility to the role. You<br />

could help plan, carry out and evaluate<br />

a wide range of learning activities. You<br />

will work both alongside the teacher to<br />

support classroom activities, and alone<br />

with individuals or groups of students. It<br />

is a good stepping-stone to a Foundation<br />

Degree or Higher Level Teaching<br />

Assistant training.<br />

Example Job Roles<br />

• Teaching Assistant<br />

• Classroom Assistant<br />

• Learning Support Assistant<br />

• Behaviour Support Assistant/<br />

Co-ordinator<br />

• Pastoral/Welfare Support Assistant<br />

• Bilingual Support Assistant<br />

appealed to me when I<br />

realised that there was a<br />

good chance I would get a<br />

permanent job out of it. I<br />

was automatically offered<br />

a full-time position<br />

at the end of my<br />

eighteen month<br />

<strong>Apprenticeship</strong>.”<br />
