Become an apprentice

Find out how an apprenticeship works, how long it can take and where you'll do your training.

Who can do an apprenticeship

You can do an apprenticeship if you are:

  • aged 16 or over
  • not in full-time education
  • living in England

If you already have a job and want to retrain or you're starting your first job, an apprenticeship could work for you.

If an apprenticeship is not right for you, or you don't have the skills and experience to do an apprenticeship, you may be able to find a traineeship or supported internship.
