Yes! Apprenticeships are paid positions. Full information about the current minimum wage for apprentices in the UK can be found here.
In many cases, yes. Most apprenticeships lead to a job within the company you trained with. If not, you’ll still have a recognised qualification and valuable experience to support your next step.
If you’re struggling or need more time, speak with your trainer assessor and employer. Extensions can sometimes be arranged to delay your End Point Assessment (EPA) / apprenticeship assessment.
Yes — as long as the next apprenticeship offers new learning and progression (e.g., moving from Level 2 to Level 3). Explore routes on our Careers Hub to see where apprenticeships can lead.
Talk to your employer or trainer assessor. Sometimes adjustments can be made, or you may be able to transfer onto a different course.
Sometimes, yes — if you can demonstrate all required skills and knowledge early. This depends on your programme structure and agreements with your employer and trainer assessor.
Apprenticeships are designed within working hours. Your employer will provide dedicated ‘off the job’ time for learning and development. Despite the name, most activities happen naturally within your role, with a weekly allocated study session. Any additional work outside hours is optional.
Apprenticeships are a brilliant way to gain real-world experience, earn a wage, and kickstart your career — all while continuing your education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to switch things up, there’s an apprenticeship for you.
