How much do Apprentices earn?
The minimum wage for Apprentices is £3.90 per hour although many employers pay above this rate.
I don’t have any qualifications, can I still study an Apprenticeship?
Yes, although some Apprenticeships will have a minimum entry requirement. This will vary depending on the type of Apprenticeship you would like to do.
However, if you do not currently meet the entry criteria we can help you gain these skills and qualifications through our Insights department which can then help you progress to a full Apprenticeship.
I already have a job, Can I study an Apprenticeship there?
Yes. If you employer agrees then you can study an Apprenticeship in your current place of work as long as you can meet the range of criteria needed to complete the qualification. Contact us for more information.
Do I have to pay to be an Apprentice?
No. Apprenticeships are fully funded for students under the age of 19. If you are aged over 19 then a contribution towards the cost of your training will be required from your employer. This varies depending on the programme you are studying. Contact us for more information.
