Choosing an Apprenticeship? Here’s What You Should Know

Considering an apprenticeship to start your new career? Apprenticeships aren’t always as good as they first seem…here’s why!

• There are up to 50 applicants for every apprentice place, meaning you’ll have to really fight hard to stand out and win a place.
• Only 2% of businesses meet the current criteria for the government apprenticeship levyscheme. Businesses currently need to earn over £3 million or more each year to qualify.
• It can take 12 – 14 months to complete apprenticeship training, and 2 years to complete a T-Level course.
• Did you know that 30% of apprentices don’t finish training.
• 4 in 10 approved apprenticeships don’t meet the government standards.
• The maximum age you can be to access the adult education budget is 24.
