Apprenticeships in Wales FAQs
Apprenticeships are available to everyone age 16 and over who are living in Wales. There being no upper age limits, some learners choose to study with us to learn new skills in their role, or to top up their existing knowledge. You can either study as part of your current role, or apply for one of our vacancies.
Apprenticeships can be studied at multiple levels, for people in a huge range of industires and sectors. Our subjects range from childcare, management and health and social care to customer service, digital marketing, equine and animal care, hair and beauty and more.
Apprenticeships are fully funded by Welsh Government. The good news is that there is no cost the learner or the employer.
How long does it take to complete an apprenticeship?
The length of time to complete an apprenticeship will depend on the qualification and level of study you choose. Typically a Level 2 apprenticeship can take between 12 to 18 months to complete whilst a Level 3 and higher qualification can typically take between 18 to 24 months.
There are different rates of pay for apprentices depending on your age, role, experience and qualification. Many employers offer a competitive salary. If you apply for one of our vacancies you will get paid at least the minimum wage for apprentices. If you are using an apprenticeship to upskill in your current job role, your salary will not be affected.
