Apprenticeships in England
Intermediate apprenticeships usually last at least two years and apprentices work towards a Level 2 combined knowledge and competence qualification and functional skills. You may then continue at this level in your career or progress on to an advanced apprenticeship.
Advanced Apprenticeships usually last at least two years if progressing from an intermediate apprenticeship but at least three years for new entrants. Apprentices work towards a Level 3 combined knowledge and competence qualification and functional skills at a higher level.
Although each apprenticeship framework is specific to the particular industry, they are all made up of three parts:
- NVQ Diploma Level Two or Three - the occupational NVQ Diplomas for the sector are the core of every framework.
- Functional Skills - the skills everyone needs to be able to adapt constantly to changing work situations, including
English
Mathematics
ICT (Information, communication and technology)
I'm interested - where next?
You can contact the National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) to enquire about recruiting an apprentice in your area. Alternatively view the current apprenticeship within our sector on the Apprenticeship Frameworks Online (AFO) database (use the Framework Library tab and tick 'SummitSkills' at the bottom of the page).
