Years of full-time study and surviving on a student loan are not for everyone.
Modern Apprenticeships, sometimes termed 'Earn as you Learn' initiatives are a great way of gaining quality, credible, vocational qualifications whilst in the workplace. They have the edge if what you really want is:
- a recognised qualification
- good quality training
- good job prospects and
- a secure future
It also helps that all Modern Apprentices are paid a proper wage. Please note though that you must be in employment to be able to undertake a Modern Apprenticeship qualification
A Modern Apprenticeship is the right choice if you want to benefit from:
- part-time study or training
- work-based assessments and
- practical experience in a real job.
There are over 80 Modern Apprenticeships available: from construction and caring to engineering or business administration
