Whether you're looking for an apprenticeship or you're an employer who needs an apprentice, we've got some fabulous options for you to consider.

Last year, 143,400 people completed their apprenticeships, smashing all records!

Apprenticeships aren't just about traditional skills -  we offer apprenticeship schemes in areas like childcare, and customer service alongside motor vehicle and construction courses:

We offer apprenticeships in lots of different areas:

Do you want to be an Apprentice?
It's a fantastic way to learn while you work, and earn a salary at the same time!  Apprenticeships are open to people aged 16-65 and you must already be in employment in the area in which you choose to study.

An apprenticeship scheme will teach you real skills at work, while you study at College for a qualification at the same time.. You can brush up on your basic skills, such as English, Maths and ICT, and if you want to, take your study further on to an Advanced Apprenticeship course.

Calling all employers!
 
"an excellent way to train and build the nation's skills"
 
Apprenticeships Minister Kevin Brennan has said that the figures rightly show that apprenticeships today are regarded as an excellent way to train and build the nation's skills, and a positive way to invest in people. Apprenticeships can deliver strategic advantages - investing in skills during the recession reaps benefits as the economy continues to recover.
