Level 3 Apprenticeships, or Advanced Apprenticeships, are a great way to achieve a professional qualification while concurrently working full-time in your chosen field. The apprenticeship combines on-the-job training with classroom study to teach practical skills and gain expertise in a chosen industry or sector. You’ll be working full-time for an employer while dedicating 20% of your time to studying. This may involve a mix of on-the-job training and online learning. Our qualifications are tailored to your industry and role, ensuring you gain all the necessary knowledge and skills to advance in your career.

Level 3 Apprenticeships focus on developing technical knowledge, work-based skills, and personal and professional skills. You will learn how to apply your knowledge in a professional work environment and develop your communication and problem-solving abilities. By the end of your apprenticeship, you will have gained valuable knowledge and skills for your chosen career path.

Advanced Apprenticeships are equivalent to 2 traditional A-Levels and are ideal for those looking to kick-start a successful and rewarding career. Participating in an Apprenticeship allows you to gain the valuable skills and hands-on experience necessary to stand out in a competitive job market. You can use an Apprenticeship to gain qualifications, essential training and a wealth of experience you cannot find anywhere else. An Advanced Apprenticeship gives you the best of both worlds, as you can work and learn concurrently. Therefore, an Apprenticeship is the perfect route to take if you want the skills and knowledge to be a successful professional.

Did you know that Level 3 Apprenticeships allow you to earn money while you learn? The Government provides wage guidelines based on your age and the year of your apprenticeship. For instance, if you’re an apprentice aged 16-18 or over 19 in 2023, you can expect to earn £5.28 per hour during your first year. After you complete your first year, if you’re over 19, you’re entitled to the National Minimum Wage or National Living Wage rate for your age.

As an apprentice, you’ll get:

• Paid and be entitled to the National Minimum Wage.
• Time for training or study as part of your apprenticeship.
• Holiday pay and other employee rights.

The daily tasks you perform during your apprenticeship will vary depending on the industry you work in, your employer’s location, and the level of apprenticeship you have chosen. Your apprenticeship will involve a variety of engaging activities that will enhance your learning experience such as:

• Working alongside experienced staff.
• Gaining practical, job-specific skills.
• Gain important life skills.
• Earn a wage and get holiday pay.
• Be allocated time for study related to your role.
