Apprenticeships
Overview
What is an Apprenticeship?
An Apprenticeship is essentially a set of qualifications – called a ‘frame work’ – developed by Sector Skills Councils. Most Apprenticeship frameworks follow a standard format that comprises:
- A National Vocational Qualification (NVQ).
- Transferable skills, such as key skills and functional skills A knowledge-based qualification, such as a BTEC.
- Through this process the Apprentice develops skills and knowledge, while the employer provides the practical experience to put those skills to the test. Training can be classroom based, in a workshop or in a workplace, depending on the subject and on the learning provider.
