Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships combine paid work with study, so you earn a salary while gaining a nationally recognised qualification. They run from Level 2 (GCSE-equivalent) up to Level 7 (master's-equivalent) and usually take one to five years. A great route if you learn best by doing and want to step straight into a career.

Who it's for
People who learn best by doing and want to earn a wage while they train. A strong choice if you'd rather be in a workplace than a classroom and have a sense of the industry you want to work in.
Entry requirements
Vary by level and employer. Intermediate (Level 2) apprenticeships often have few formal requirements; higher and degree apprenticeships may ask for specific GCSEs, A Levels or equivalent. You apply for a vacancy like a job.
Where it can lead
Move up to a higher-level apprenticeship, step into full-time employment, or take a degree apprenticeship to gain a full bachelor's or master's degree without tuition fees.
