What is an Apprenticeship?

An Apprenticeship is a training programme that combines practical on-the-job training with technical instruction in a specific industry sector, leading to a qualification that is truly valued by employers. 
 
Employees on an Apprenticeship programme usually spend most of their time working on the job with their employer, with off-the-job training usually completed at college on a day-release basis. The amount of hours spent at college and attendance times varies and is flexible depending on the Apprenticeship and the needs of the employer.
 
Redcar & Cleveland College offer a wide range of Apprenticeships, which provide a structured programme of training leading to a recognised qualification. Our Apprenticeships are available at different levels, so there should be something to suit most learning needs. 
 
Apprenticeships are open to anyone aged from 16 years-old, whether just leaving school, currently working for some time, but looking to take that next step in their career, or even looking for a complete change in direction.
