3 Apprenticeships As employees, apprentices earn a wage and work alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. Off the job, usually on a day-release basis, apprentices receive training to work towards nationally recognised qualifications. Anyone living in England, over 16 and not in full-time education can apply. Apprenticeships can take between one and four years to complete depending on the level of Apprenticeship, the apprentices ability and the industry sector. * All employed apprentices will get a wage, at least the National Minimum Wage (NMW) however, as skills develop, many employers tend to increase wages in fact, research has found that apprentices earn an average of 170 net pay per week. * Key benefits: earn a salary get paid holidays receive training gain qualifications learn job-specific skills. There are three levels of Apprenticeship available for those aged 16 and over: Intermediate Level Apprenticeships Apprentices work towards work-based learning qualifications such as a Level 2, Functional Skills and, in most cases, a relevant knowledge-based qualification. Advanced Level Apprenticeships Apprentices work towards work-based learning such as a Level 3 Competence Qualification, Functional Skills and, in most cases, a relevant knowledgebased qualification. Higher Apprenticeships Apprentices work towards work-based learning qualifications such as a Level 4, Functional Skills and, in some cases, a knowledge-based qualification such as a Foundation Degree.
