Levels of Apprenticeships
When applying for an Apprenticeship, it's also really important that you consider what level of study to begin at. The right Apprenticeship for you will depend on your interests, skill level and where you would like to progress in the future.
The level of the Apprenticeship is determined by the job role that the Apprentice is in and their prior knowledge and experience. For example, a Higher Apprenticeship would require more responsibility in the job role than either an Intermediate or Advanced Apprenticeship.
Intermediate: equivalent to 5 GCSEs
Advanced: equivalent to 2 A Levels
Higher: equivalent to HNC/HND
