They are perfect for kicking off your career, with options for school leavers and higher-level apprenticeships that go all the way up to the equivalent of a master’s degree. You’ll get practical, hands-on experience, which is ideal if you prefer learning on the job instead of in a classroom.

As an apprentice, you’ll earn a salary, be part of a team, and still have time set aside each week to study for your qualification.

Apprenticeships vary across the UK and Ireland, so check out what’s available in your area using the links below.
