But the exact length can vary and depends on a range of factors, such as your skill level, the qualification being obtained and the industry. Will I get paid? The National Minimum Wage for all apprentices is £3.50 per hour. However, employers can choose to pay above this to reflect the job and the qualities of the apprentice. Will I need any qualifications? Employers will specify what qualifications they require for apprenticeship jobs in their business. Our staff will work with you to understand your current qualifications and to plan a learning and development programme tailored to meet your development needs and those of your employers. What can I do after an apprenticeship? Once you've completed your apprenticeship, you'll discuss with your employer whether you need to progress further into a higher level apprenticeship programme. Most importantly, an apprenticeship will give you the knowledge, skills and qualifications for employment in your chosen occupation and sector.
