An apprenticeship can start at any level, but some may require:

• GCSE Maths and English at Grade 4 or higher (previously a C). However if you do not have these grades, you can complete Maths and English functional skills either prior to or during your apprenticeship.

There are a range of apprenticeships from Level 2 to Level 7 and different apprenticeships levels equate to different qualification levels:

In most cases, you will be offered a job with your apprenticeship employer, however this is not always guaranteed. Often your employer and assessor will have conversations with you towards the end of your apprenticeship to discuss career opportunities. If it is available, it is always wise to join the temporary staffing pool (bank) to gain further work experience in different areas and maximise opportunities for following your apprenticeship.
