Who can apply for an apprenticeship?

Some apprenticeships may require you to already hold an existing qualification. For example, advanced apprenticeships often require a qualification from an intermediate apprenticeship (or the equivalent) first.

Anyone aged 16 or over can apply for an apprenticeship, regardless of their background in education or employment. All apprenticeship applicants must live in England and not take part in full-time education.

If you benefit from hands-on learning and know the career you want to progress in, an apprenticeship is a perfect alternative to traditional, classroom-based education.
