Top 4 reasons to choose an apprenticeship
Do you really know what an apprenticeship could offer you? Now's your chance to get clued up.
1. Say goodbye to debt
With an apprenticeship, all your training is covered, so no scary student loans to worry about! You’ll get qualified without university debt, or extra training costs, keeping your future finances in check.
2. Get ahead in your career
Starting an apprenticeship early means you will gain valuable work experience years before university graduates enter the workforce. Whether you start an apprenticeship after GCSEs or A Levels, by the time university graduates start their first job you’ll already have 3-6 years of experience and be further along in your career – giving you a real competitive edge.
3. Boost your qualifications
You’ll earn recognised, industry-relevant qualifications that employers actually want. Plus, you can go as far as you like – work your way up from Level 3 all the way to a bachelor’s or even a master’s degree level apprenticeship if that’s your goal!
4. Earn while you learn
Unlike a degree, as you earn your qualifications you’ll also be getting paid a full salary for the duration of your apprenticeship. The average wage for QA apprentices is £330 a week, which is 28% higher than the national average for apprentices!

“I've been a part of numerous projects which have all given me the feeling of responsibility for the team, confidence in myself and others and even passion for my job which I'm loving.

“I wouldn't have been able to gain real work experience this soon if I was doing my degree. Now I am able to potentially explore other opportunities, and I am also able to bring value into the job market as I have experience and insight.”
