Courses: Apprenticeships...
Apprenticeships are an excellent way of gaining
qualifications and workplace experience. As an employee, you
can earn as you learn and you gain practical skills from the
workplace. Apprenticeships are increasingly recognised as the gold
standard for work-based training. Already, more than 130,000
employers offer Apprenticeships. Apprenticeships are open to all age groups above 16years-old
whether you are just leaving school, have been working for
years or are seeking to start a new career.
There are lots of benefits to doing an Apprenticeship. You
can earn while you learn, and learn in a way that is best
suited to you – through hands-on experience on the job.
At Chesterfield College we offer two levels of
Apprenticeship available for those aged 16 and over:
1 - Apprenticeships (equivalent to five good GCSE passes)
• Apprentices work towards work-based learning
qualifications such as an NVQ Level 2, Key Skills and, in
some cases, a relevant knowledge-based qualification such as
a BTEC.
• These provide the skills you need for your chosen career
and allow entry to an Advanced Apprenticeship.
2 - Advanced Apprenticeships (equivalent to two A-level
passes)
• Advanced apprentices work towards work-based learning
qualifications such as NVQ Level 3, Key Skills and, in most
cases, a relevant knowledge based certificate such as a
BTEC.
• To start this programme, you should ideally have five
GCSEs (grade C or above) or have completed an
Apprenticeship.
