An apprenticeship is a job with training. You will complete a mixture of academic study, workplace training and will also be fulfilling your job role within your employer.
No, as an apprenticeship contains training this means you are still classed as receiving education, so you don’t have to stay on at school or college. You can start an apprenticeship any time after you have turned 16 and completed your GCSEs
This depends on the type of apprenticeship. Some apprenticeships are delivered 100% in the workplace with no requirement to go elsewhere. However, some may have periods of full-time study in a college (called block release) or involve studying in college one day per week (called day release)
When you are an apprentice you are an employee and as a minimum will receive the apprenticeship minimum wage for your age. This includes being paid for any periods when you are in college.
The minimum that your employer must pay you is dependent upon your age. Details of the current rates can be found on https://www.gov.uk/national-minimum-wage-rates. Not all apprenticeship employers pay the minimum however and some may pay considerably more
You will be assigned a workplace mentor who will support you in your employer and ensure that you getting access to the right type of training and exposure to the right range of job tasks to ensure that you can progress your apprenticeship.
You will also be assigned a Training Officer by Tyne North Training. They will visit you regularly in your employer (and at college if you are studying there) to assess and monitor your progress. They will liaise with your workplace mentor to identify your training requirements and ensure that you are getting the right level of support
As a minimum you will receive your apprenticeship certificate which is your legal proof that you have completed an apprenticeship in a particular discipline. Depending on the apprenticeship you may also complete various qualifications (such as BTECs, City & Guilds and NVQs) during the course of your apprenticeship. On completion of your apprenticeship you may also be eligible for the membership of a relevant professional body
You will have completed the first step in your career. You will now be ready to progress further through higher level qualifications or on to a higher level of apprenticeship. We have excellent retention rates. Many of our apprentices are kept on by their employers at the end of their apprenticeship
