Direct answers
Questions, answered clearly
Is an apprenticeship a course or a job?
An apprenticeship is a paid job with structured training. The apprentice develops occupational knowledge, skills and behaviours while carrying out a real role.
Can an existing employee become an apprentice?
An existing employee may be eligible when the apprenticeship provides substantial new learning and the role enables them to develop and demonstrate the required occupational skills.
Does an apprentice pay for the training?
No. The apprentice must not be charged for eligible apprenticeship training or assessment. The employer’s funding arrangement depends on current government rules and its circumstances.
