What’s the difference?<br />
With an <strong>Apprenticeship</strong> you are working,<br />
earning and learning on the job from the<br />
very start. With a degree you study full<br />
time in a chosen subject with some work<br />
experience.<br />
If I do an <strong>Apprenticeship</strong> can I still study<br />
to degree level?<br />
If you do an <strong>Apprenticeship</strong> you could still<br />
study at degree level. Many apprentices<br />
move on to higher education with the<br />
help and support of their employer or you<br />
may choose to leave your job and go to<br />
university or college.<br />
Are <strong>Apprenticeship</strong>s the 'easy’ option?<br />
<strong>Apprenticeship</strong>s are not a back up option<br />
for students who “didn’t get the grades<br />
to go to university”. Many companies<br />
are looking to recruit high achieving<br />
school leavers who want to go straight<br />
into work. Sometimes there can be a lot<br />
of competition for places. Employers are<br />
wanting focused and motivated young<br />
people.<br />
Which route is quicker?<br />
For some subject areas it could take less<br />
time to do an <strong>Apprenticeship</strong> than to do a<br />
degree and then the industry qualification.<br />
You would also be working in the role<br />
all that time, building up your skills base<br />
rather than just learning the theory.
