APPRENTICESHIPS.
What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a mix of work
and training. You’ll work alongside
experienced staff, gain job specific
skills, earn a wage and get time
for study related to your role.
How much will I earn?
This depends on your employer but
there are nationally set minimum
wages depending on your age.
How long does it take?
It depends on the type of apprenticeship
and can vary from 12 months to
4 years. Most apprentices work
for at least 30 hours a week.

for example a family firm, we can
advise them on apprenticeship
training and financial support.
