What do I need to do an apprenticeship?

How old do I have to be to start an apprenticeship?

• In the past Apprenticeships have been known to only be available to 16-24 years olds but the Government got rid of the upper age limit in May 2017
• You do still have to be over aged 16 years to complete an apprenticeship
• There is no upper age limit requirement on Apprenticeships meaning more applicants are able to apply for development job roles 

What Qualifications do I need?

• The entry requirements vary with each different level of apprenticeship, training provider, employer and job role
• You may be expected to have your Maths and English qualifications at grade C and above (Grade 4+ with the new grade system) or equivalent
• If the Apprenticeship requires Maths and English the training provider will need a copy of your certificates for evidence prior to starting the course
• Always check the job requirements to see what level of qualifications are expected prior to applying
