Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships allow you to combine work and study by mixing on-the-job training with classroom learning. You will be employed to do a real job while studying for a formal qualification, usually for one day a week either at a college or a training centre. There are more and more degree apprenticeships becoming available too. Apprenticeships tend to fall into three groups:-
- Intermediate Level Apprenticeships
- Advanced Level Apprenticeships
- Higher Apprenticeships
School e-Bulletins
Each month we publish one, if not two e-bulletins e-Bulletins
