Why choose an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeships are open to all age groups above 16 years-old whether you are just leaving school, have been working for years or are seeking to start a new career. You just need to be living in England and not taking part in full-time education.
1
A real wage
Instead of university debt, you can earn an average of £200 per week.
2
A real job
Work in a job placement for at least 30 hours a week and get yourself on the career ladder. Over 90% of our apprentices currently go into permanent work or further training.
3
A real qualification
Receive training to work towards a nationally recognised qualification. Employers think qualified apprentices are 15% more employable.
There are three types of Apprenticeships offered at the College:
Intermediate Apprenticeships (Level 2)
These Apprenticeships are suitable if you are a school leaver or have little or no experience in your chosen area. Level 2 Apprenticeships are equivalent to five GCSEs.
Advanced Apprenticeships (Level 3)
These qualifications are suitable if you have completed a Level 2 Apprenticeship or are already an existing employee with some experience in your job role. Level 3 Apprenticeships are equivalent to two A Levels.
Higher Apprenticeships (Level 4+)
These qualifications are suitable if you have completed a Level 3 Apprenticeship or are already an existing employee with some experience in your job role. Level 4 and 5 is equivalent to a higher education certificate, higher education diploma or a foundation degree whereas level 6 is equivalent to a bachelor degree.

Apprenticeship Success Stories
We are extremely proud of our students.
Akela Nevelli
Professional Cookery Apprentice at No 9 Church Street “I have really benefited from my Apprenticeship as it has allowed me to develop the practical skills to work as a chef … my skills and understanding have developed far faster than if I had just taken a full or part-time course.”
Armands Vinklers
Professional Cookery Apprentice at The Fish and Anchor Inn, Evesham
“I’m so happy I decided to come to England and learn to be a chef. I am very proud to be nominated for Apprentice of the Year and I’m grateful to the College and everyone at The Fish and Anchor Inn.”
Catherine McCarthy
Customer Service Apprentice at the Visitor Information Centre
“For me, my Apprenticeship has been life changing.”
“Supported by my supervisor, the College and the close team at the Visitor Information Centre (VIC), my confidence and knowledge grew on a daily basis. The programme of learning opened my eyes to different ways of handling different situations with customers, many of which I wouldn’t have considered without the apprenticeship. I am absolutely delighted to have been offered a permanent role with the VIC and to be working in an amazing industry helping tourists from all over the world.”
