What qualifications will you be awarded at the end of your Apprenticeship?
On your Apprenticeship, you will be working towards a number of qualifications that combine both work-place based tasks and theory knowledge.
These could be NVQ Certificates or NVQ Diplomas, a BTEC or a City & Guilds, for example. When you complete, as well as these individual qualifications, you will receive an overall Apprenticeship Certificate too.
Alongside this you will be working towards a Technical Certificate at the same level, this will be carried out at college along with the relevant Functional Skills in maths, English and in some cases ICT.
Apprenticeships come in three Levels:
- Level 2 or Intermediate Apprenticeship
- Level 3 or Advanced Apprenticeship
- Level 4+ or Higher Apprenticeship
Some Apprenticeships will require you to start at Level 2, regardless of your previous qualifications; these tend to be skilled trades where you need to learn the basic skills before you can progress. Other Apprenticeships will allow you to go straight in at a higher level, providing you have appropriate qualifications.
Level 1 Functional Skills are required for a Level 2 Apprenticeship
Level 2 Functional Skills are required for a Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship
Functional Skills will not be required for most Higher Apprenticeships as you would have achieved these prior to enrolling. These qualifications are nationally recognised and your programme can be transferred to an alternative employer if at any point necessary.
