The process for gaining a traineeship or an apprenticeship is
quite different to entry into a full time or part time course studied
on campus. The first, and most important, requirement is for you
when seeking an apprenticeship is to find an employer who will
take you on. With this employer you will then set up a training
contract which specifies your work, your training and the length
of time you will be contracted for. Training will be a combination of
“on the job” training and in class study. One of the best places to
start looking for an apprenticeship or traineeship is
the ApprentiCentre.
