Anyone living in England, over 16 years-old and not in full-time education can apply, whether you are just leaving school, have been working for years or are seeking to start a new career.
You just need to be living in England and not taking part in full-time education.
Apprenticeships can take between one and four years to complete depending on the level and type of apprenticeship.
You will need to be employed for at least 30 hours per week in a job role directly related to your chosen apprenticeship.
There are different entry requirements depending on the apprenticeship you are interested in and the industry sector.
Competition for apprenticeship places is high, so you will need to show that you are committed, and aware of your responsibilities to both yourself and any potential employer. You also need to demonstrate that you have the ability to work as both part of a team and individually, and be able to use your own initiative.
Apprenticeships are a great way to advance your career by achieving a nationally recognised qualification whilst earning money.
