Apprenticeships in Northern Ireland
Apprenticeship Level 2 usually lasts at least two years and apprentices work towards a Level 2 combined knowledge and competence qualification and Essential Skills. You may then continue at this level in your career or progress on to an Apprenticeship Level 3 programme.
Apprenticeship Level 3 usually lasts at least two years if progressing from a Foundation Apprenticeship but at least three years for new entrants. Apprentices work towards a Level 3 combined knowledge and competence qualification and Essential 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.
- Essential Skills - the skills everyone needs to be able to adapt constantly to changing work situations, including
Communication
Application of Numbers
ICT (Information and communication technology)
