Entrance requirements for apprenticeships and traineeships

Some of the benefits of an Apprenticeship or Traineeship are that you can:

  • earn a wage while you train
  • learn on the job skills combined with off the job training
  • receive a nationally recognised qualification on successful completion
  • start a valuable step towards a rewarding career path
