The National Apprenticeship Service (NAS)
An apprenticeship is a paid job where the employee learns and gains valuable experiences. Alongside on-the-job training, apprentices spend at least 20% of their working hours completing classroom-based learning with a college, university or training provider which leads to a nationally recognised qualification.
What are the benefits of completing an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships are an exciting paid option for anyone wanting to gain experience whilst they study. There are many benefits to completing an apprenticeship, which include:
- Experience and skills development
- A nationally recognised qualification (with no tuition fees)
- Employee benefits and a wage
- Exposure to industry professionals
