What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is an opportunity for you to work a full-time paid job whilst spending 20% of your working week studying for a formal qualification. It’s a great way to get valuable hands on experience that will help you to succeed in your qualification, because it directly links to the field you are working in.
Which fields offer apprenticeships?
Pretty much every field you can think of will offer some type of apprenticeship- a company will benefit largely from taking on a young apprentice and training them up, so there is certainly no lack of roles going around:
- Sales and marketing
- Business admin
- Finance
- Legal
- Property
- Engineering
- Science
- Transport
- Teaching
- Travel
- Building and construction
- Government schemes
As you can see, the opportunities provided to you as an apprentice are endless. There is a course for everyone, of every background.
Why take an apprenticeship?
There are many benefits of being an apprentice to consider. Not only are you studying towards a recognized qualification but you’re also getting paid at the same time! You’re able to get your foot in the door and pave your way through into a successful door at a young age.

Here from an apprentice today…
(Mindshare UK) “I can’t believe how far I have come in the space of 15 months- when I first started, I didn’t know a single thing about media. Now that I’m coming to the end of my course I can pretty much lead the account by myself! I’m able to have intellectual conversations with senior staff and publishers and I can’t wait to see where the next steps in my career take me!”
(Media Com) “Being able to gain experience in such a variety of marketing channels has really opened my eyes to the vast amount of opportunities in the industry. I’m proud of my success in the apprenticeship and would definitely recommend this course to others!”
(Vodafone) “I’m so far ahead of my friends who went to university. Some of them still don’t know what they want to do once they come out while I’m already progressing through my life long career- if you had told me in sixth form that I’d be working full time whilst gaining a credited qualification at the same time I would’ve laughed!”
