Apprenticeships
Picture
An apprenticeship is a real job where you learn, gain experience, and get paid. You’re an employee with a contract of employment and holiday leave. You can start an apprenticeship whether you’re starting your career, want a change or you're up-skilling in your current job. You can have a previous qualification like a degree and still start an apprenticeship. By the end of an apprenticeship, you'll have the right skills and knowledge needed for your chosen career. ​
​It can take between one and 6 years to complete an apprenticeship depending on which one you choose, what level it is and your previous experience. Apprenticeships are linked to an accredited course from Level 2 (intermediate) – Level 7 (Master’s degree) covering both clinical and non-clinical job roles.
​All apprenticeships include elements of on and off the job training; some apprenticeships also require an assessment at the end of the programme to assess the learner’s ability and competence in their job role. 
As an apprentice you will:
  • learn and train for a specific job
  • get paid and receive holiday leave 
  • get hands-on experience in a real job
  • study for at least 20% of your working hours - usually at a college, university or with a training provider 
  • complete assessments during and at the end of your apprenticeship
  • be on a career path with lots of future potential
Check out some of our apprentices case studies here.

​Students looking to join the NHS as an apprentice


​Apprenticeship vacancies are advertised on the hospital website, if you are over 16, live in England and are not in full time education you can apply for an apprenticeship. 
​​
Entry requirements depend on the sector and prior skills, if you have already achieved A levels you may still be expected to start at intermediate to build up your occupational skills.
