Apprenticeships combine full-time work with accompanying skills development programmes, designed by employers within the sector. They allow the apprentice to gain the technical knowledge and real, practical experience required for their future career, and are delivered through a mix of learning methods.

This programme includes campus-based classes, on the job training, portfolio building and self-directed study. Apprentices will also need to work flexibly in order to keep up with requirements for independent study and research.
