What are Apprenticeships?

An apprenticeship is a paid job where the employee (apprentice) learns and gains valuable experiences.

Alongside on-the-job training, apprentices may spend at least 20% of their working hours completing classroom-based learning with a college, university or training provider. This leads to a nationally recognised qualification.

An Apprenticeship includes:

  • Paid employment with holiday entitlement
  • Hands on experience in a sector or role of interest
  • At least 20% off the job training
  • Formal assessment which leads to a nationally recognised qualification

The London School of Childcare Studies is an apprenticeship provider, meaning we will deliver all the off-the-job learning. Support is available throughout the apprenticeship to ensure the requirements of the qualification are met.
