An apprenticeship is an opportunity to learn whilst you earn. You are in a full-time, permanent role, whilst spending 20% of your time learning with either an apprenticeship provider like School of Marketing, a College or University - This is where you will build your knowledge and work towards your qualification. The knowledge you learn will then be applied in your day to day role to show you are developing throughout the programme.
It is a common myth that only school-leavers are eligible to enrol into an apprenticeship, but the reality is that anyone can do an apprenticeship. As long as you fit the following requirements you can use an apprenticeship to enhance your knowledge, kickstart your career to start the career change you’ve always wanted to.
Be aged 16 or over
Not in full-time education
We’ve previously spoken about the evolution of apprenticeships, and there really isn’t a better time to invest in apprenticeships. By accessing the Apprenticeship Levy, employers can now get at least 95% of each of their apprentices training funded.
If you are a learner, you do not need to worry about funding an apprenticeship, as this a requirement of your employer.
If an apprentice is aged 16 - 18 or in their first year of their apprenticeship, they are entitled to at least the apprentice minimum wage. However if the apprentice is 19 or over and completed their first year of their apprenticeship they are entitled to at least national minimum wage.
An apprentice is never limited to these salaries, they are decided by the employer, however at School of Marketing we recommend at least a starting salary of £18,500 per annum.
An apprenticeship isn’t just an opportunity for learners to either kick start their career or take their knowledge to the next level, apprenticeships also offer employers countless benefits that will contribute to the success of their business and their employees' personal development.
