Top 4 Reasons to Choose an Apprenticeship
Best choice ever
Do you really know what an apprenticeship could offer you? Now's your chance to get clued up.
1. Dodge debt
On an apprenticeship, you get all your training totally free. You’ll dodge uni debt. And you’ll dodge the costs of training courses.
2. Get ahead in your career
You can start an apprenticeship as soon as you complete your GCSEs. Or after your A levels, if you prefer. That means you could build up 3 – 6 years extra experience compared to someone who went to university (by the time they’ve graduated and started a job). Employers look for experience on CV’s – and for promotions. This could be a game changer in your career that sets you apart from the crowd and gets you ahead of the pack.
3. Boost your qualifications
You’ll get proper qualifications that employers want. Our apprenticeships are packed with industry-relevant, recognised qualifications – so you’ll be in demand. And you can take your learning as far as you want to go – from Level 3 to Bachelors or even a Master’s degree.
4. Get paid
Even though you’ll be training, you’ll still get paid. You’ll get a full salary for the duration of your apprenticeship. Even better news? The median wage for QA apprentices is £345 per week – 45% higher than the national median apprentice wage. 78% of QA apprentices we surveyed said they’d received a pay rise after their apprenticeship. And 46% reported they’d been promoted.

"I chose cyber security because it offered a mix of theory and practical knowledge – as well as the opportunity to work in the industry and gain experience. Next I plan to do either a BSc or MSc in cyber security to progress my career as a cyber security analyst."
