What’s an apprenticeship?

In summary, it’s a great alternative to higher education. Open to those aged 16 or over, these schemes combine study with full-time, on-the-job training, all while you earn a salary. You also gain an official qualification at the end of it. For more information on what it entails, check out the Gov.UK page on apprenticeships.
