What are Apprenticeships?

An apprenticeship is more than “just a job”; it’s a unique opportunity to earn while you learn.

As an apprentice, you’ll be able to dive into real-world work, gaining hands-on experience and developing valuable skills in your chosen field—all while getting paid to learn and work towards a nationally recognised qualification.

Alongside your practical training, you’ll be able to dedicate at least 20% of your working hours to classroom-based learning to support your practical experience. This learning might be through a college, university, or a specialised training provider like the London School of Childcare Studies, leading you to a nationally recognised qualification.

Here’s a summary of what an apprenticeship offers:

  • Paid Employment: You’ll receive a salary and enjoy holiday entitlements, just like any other job.
  • Hands-On Experience: Get immersed in your chosen sector or role, learning directly from professionals.
  • Off-the-Job Training: Enjoy an allowance of at least 20% of your time enhancing your skills through formal education.
  • Nationally Recognised Qualification: Upon successful completion of your apprenticeship, you’ll have an officially recognised qualification that will help open doors to your chosen career pathway.

At The London School of Childcare Studies, we’re dedicated to being your apprenticeship provider, guiding you through the off-the-job learning process. We’ll give you comprehensive support, ensuring you meet all the requirements needed to achieve your qualification and succeed in your career.
