What is an Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship combines a real job with practical training and study to gain skills, knowledge and experience.
There are many different apprenticeships available across a wide range of industries, and for a wide variety of job roles. As a paid employee, each apprentice works alongside their studies.
Who can do an apprenticeship
Apprenticeships are not just for new starters or people who are just about to enter the workplace, they are available to all ages and existing employed members of staff.

The levels of apprenticeship
Apprenticeships have equivalent educational levels. You can train through an apprenticeship at a higher level than a qualification that you already hold. Or if there is significant new learning required for your role, you can train at lower or equivalent level to your existing qualification.
| Name | Level | Equivalent education level |
| Intermediate | 2 | GCSE |
| Advanced | 3 | A-Level |
| Higher | 4, 5, 6, and 7 | Foundation degree and above |
| Degree | 6 and 7 | Bachelor's or master's degree |

What our students say
Cambridge
Marketing College has helped me to build my knowledge and expand my skills
within PR. Once a week, my employer lets me take a study day, which entails
anything from writing a press release, to implementing a crisis communications
plan. This helps me in my role at Sage and puts my skills to the test.
I am really enjoying it and I am finding the Learning Zone engaging. I look forward to the catch ups with my tutor. All is very relevant. It doesn't feel like work because I am enjoying it. It's not easy but it's enjoyable and I am passionate about communications.
Really positive and really beneficial. I have been able to put into practice on a daily basis.
It is really interesting. I don’t have formal training so all the theory is really useful. The Learning Zone is easy to use and easy to navigate in. It’s all interesting. I’m not a reader, so love the videos and doing things. I like talking through with my tutor because he has a different perspective.
Really good and really interesting having an academic perspective. I am Enjoying that there are lots of different theories. The Online Learning Zone is easy to use. At the beginning, I used to study on Fridays but this didn’t work because people were off, so Fridays were really busy. Now I am booking the study time in meeting rooms and it is much better!
Cambridge Marketing College’s apprenticeship courses
are brilliant - there is a wealth of knowledge and different types of media
freely available. The tutors are always available to answer questions and push
you to achieve your best. This course has given me the courage to challenge
myself and the organisation I work within!
