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 />

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 />

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 />

other people and makes our society a<br />
better place.<br />
It takes more than doctors to<br />
keep our health service running.<br />

dispensing medicines in a pharmacy,<br />
giving eye tests, working as a dental<br />
nurse and many more.<br />

or management roles in care homes.<br />
The main difference between the<br />
Intermediate Level <strong>Apprenticeship</strong><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 />

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 />

my <strong>Apprenticeship</strong> has allowed me to gain<br />
the experience I need to achieve my<br />
career goals. I enjoy learning on the<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 />

“Doing an <strong>Apprenticeship</strong><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 />
