The length of an apprenticeship varies, depending on your existing skills, the qualifications you are working towards, and the sector it is in. Generally, it will take between one and four years.

Like most other employees, apprentices will be given a minimum of 20 days paid holiday per year as well as bank holidays. 

Most apprentices attend some off-the-job training at one our training centres or partner colleges and this might be day release or a block of training all together. Some apprentices may complete all of their training in the workplace.

Apprentices are paid a salary directly by their employer and some employers will pay over the national minimum wage.

Apprentices are entitled to the apprentice rate of £4.15 per hour if they’re either:

• aged under 19
• aged 19 or over and in the first year of their apprenticeship

Apprentices are entitled to the minimum wage for their age if they are:

• aged 19 or over and have completed the first year of their apprenticeship

For example - if you are aged 22 and have completed the first year of your apprenticeship then you are entitled to a minimum hourly rate of £8.20.

Please note: rates are correct until 1 April 2021.

All apprentices work full-time, the hours will depend on your employer. 

A member of the Recruitment Team will be happy to help and can provide you with further information about all our apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeship study programmes.
