apprenticeshipsicon_150Advanced Level Apprenticeships lead to Level 3 qualifications. On Advanced Level Apprenticeships you will be employed and receive a wage of at least £2.60 per hour that will reflect your skills, experience and ability.

Advanced Level Apprenticeships will give you the opportunity to achieve:

  • Work-related qualifications at Level 3 (A Level standard), relevant to the skills you need to learn for your chosen career. Work-related qualifications are achieved by assessing your competence in the workplace
  • Key Skills, which are important for all kinds of work
  • Technical certificates such as BTEC or City & Guilds qualifications which will give you with the knowledge you need to do your job
  • Practical experience in your chosen area of work

You might attend a college or training centre on a day or block release basis.

Employers will expect applicants to be capable of achieving qualifications at Level 3 and might expect you to have achieved GCSE grades A*-C in relevant subjects.

The length of time it takes to complete your Advanced Level Apprenticeship will vary, but it normally takes at least two years.

When you have completed your Advanced Level Apprenticeship, you might be able to progress to higher education, or continue your learning in other ways.
