Take a look at our latest guidance for apprentices regarding COVID-19.
"An apprenticeship programme for professionals has many benefits, but the two that strike me most are: it provides the space to learn again - something all marketers should continue to do. Secondly, it gives strong theoretical underpinning to what we do on a daily basis - a reminder of the real value of disciplined marketing processes, which in turn can only add value for your employer" - Nick Wake, Apprenticeship Tutor
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 |
