Apprenticeships Applicant Guide

HOW MUCH DOES DOING AN APPRENTICESHIP COST?

WHAT CAN I PROGRESS TO AFTER MY APPRENTICESHIP?

The majority of the cost will still be met by the government and in some cases employers also have to contribute. Apprentices themselves do not pay any of the training costs. HOW WILL I BE TAUGHT? An apprentice would typically spend one day a week either in college or training in the workplace and the rest of the time would be spent working on the job. At college you’ll be taught in a variety of ways, including:  Practical and theory classes  One-to-one tutorials, guidance and support  Practical and written assessments, with feedback  Being observed at work by a qualified assessor. WHAT WILL I ACHIEVE? Apprenticeship standards provide nationally recognised evidence of achievement. Depending on the level and type of apprenticeship, upon successful completion you could receive a license to practice in your regulated profession or a professional certificate within your vocational area. Both provide evidence of the level of competence you have achieved within your profession.

Depending on the level, you could progress to the next level apprenticeship or to Higher Education. You could look for a full-time job at your company or elsewhere. Apprentices tell us their real-life work experience helps them stand out, and improves their confidence too. WHAT SUPPORT WILL NESCOT GIVE ME?
