Lasting a minimum of 13 months, apprenticeships combine work-based learning with a mix of on and off the job training, often at an educational institution and on site.
Apprenticeship standards are developed working with employers and practitioners to ensure that they meet the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for each role. Depending on the level and duration of programme the structure may vary.
When you are ready at the end of the programme you will take the end point assessment, this is independent from the training provider and the employer. The assessments can be a combination of a test, observation of practice, a presentation and or a professional discussion.
