Is it Worth it?
An Apprenticeship opens doors. Doors to a more senior role, doors to higher education, and doors to more money.
What you learn in your Apprenticeship or Advanced Apprenticeship will vary but you'll always end up gaining the following:
- Practical experience, skills and knowledge from working in your chosen type of employment
- A National Vocational Qualification (NVQ), at Level 2 for an Apprenticeship, or Level 3 for an Advanced Apprenticeship
- Key Skills qualifications, e.g. working in teams, problem-solving, communication and using new technology
- A technical certificate such as a City & Guilds Progression Award (included in most Apprenticeships)
- Any extra qualifications or requirements that are important for your chosen occupation.
When you complete an Apprenticeship, you’ll be able to show an employer that you have the skills and qualifications relevant to your chosen field giving you the opportunity to progress to a more senior role. Many advanced apprentices also use their Apprenticeship as a stepping stone to higher education or University, many on a part time basis with their employer’s financial support. At Level 2 an NVQ is equivalent to five GCSEs at grades A-C, and at Level 3 it’s equivalent to two A levels/one vocational A level.
