Apprenticeships

  • Advanced level 3 Apprenticeships

    The equivalent to two A level passes or a level 3 diploma, an advanced level 3 Apprenticeship will see you undertake more complex learning and a role where you have greater technical exposure and increased responsibilities. These apprenticeships take around two to three years to complete. 

  • Higher levels 4,5 and 6 Apprenticeships

    If you’ve already passed A levels or have completed an advanced level Apprenticeship, this route enables you to continue your studies to a level 4 or 5 qualification (the equivalent to a foundation degree, a Higher National Diploma (HND) or a Diploma of Higher Education (DipHE). You can also continue to a level 6 qualification which is the equivalent to a Batchelor’s degree.
