What is an Apprenticeship?

An Apprenticeship is a nationally recognised work-based training programme, for both adults and school leavers, combining on and off-the-job training. Apprenticeships are generally delivered on a day release or block basis, where students attend college for a minimum of one day per week and spend the rest of their time at work, although several Apprenticeships offered by Eastleigh College can be delivered wholly in the workplace.

 

Apprenticeships can take between one and four years to complete depending on the level of Apprenticeship, the apprentices' ability, and the industry sector.
