Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to earn as you learn!
Getting paid while you learn might sound too good to be true – but as an Apprentice you really do get the best of both worlds.
If you are aged between 16 and 24 and are driven to succeed in a particular industry and are willing to commit yourself to training and study, then an Apprenticeship could be right up your street – quite literally!
Selby College is the largest provider of Apprenticeship training in the area and successfully works in partnership with a wide range of employers across Yorkshire and Humberside.
What is an Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships are nationally designed programmes for people who have left full time education or who are already in employment.
The complete Apprenticeship programme consists of three different qualifications:
- A National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) This credits the learner for their practical skills in the workplace.
- Key Skills Certificates Key skills are essential for all jobs and industries and focus on Communication, Application of Number and Information Technology.
- Technical Certificate The Technical Certificate provides the knowledge and understanding the learner needs to underpin their practical skills.
There are two levels of Apprenticeship:
- Apprenticeship (NVQ Level 2)
- Advanced Apprenticeship (NVQ Level 3)
