An apprenticeship is a fantastic way to start your career and start working full-time whilst still having the opportunity to learn and develop your skills. An apprenticeship allows you to receive top-level support whilst giving you the responsibility of a full-time employee.
Alongside on-the-job training, apprentices spend at least 20% of their working hours completing classroom-based learning with a Training Provider, like EMA Training, which leads to a nationally recognised qualification. An EMA apprenticeship teaches you both the theory (the academic side) and the practical experience you can only gain by working within an industry.
Yes! There are a vast number of apprenticeships available, ranging from Accountancy to Agriculture.
Within each different apprenticeship course, there are levels. Not every course will offer the entire range of levels, however, there will always be progression pathways available.
See the apprenticeship levels below:
There will be different application requirements per course, for example, Level 3 courses
require 5 GCSE grades C/4 which must include Maths and English or an equivalent.
There will also be different requirements for different Training Providers. For example, here at EMA, you must hold a right to work in the UK and be able to commute to either our Derby or Nottingham Training Hub. You also cannot enrol on an EMA apprenticeship if you have completed a similar course elsewhere.
There is no such thing as ‘too old’ in the apprenticeship industry. As long as you’re over the age of 16, you can apply for any apprenticeship.
There are a variety of ways you can apply for an apprenticeship, two popular options being through the Gov.uk website and Indeed. Apprenticeship vacancies are shared across various other job boards as well – it’s important to sign up to these to keep an eye out for the best opportunities! Apprenticeship Training Providers will also have their apprenticeship vacancies displayed on their websites, for example, EMA Training’s can be found here.
Here at EMA Training, our Recruitment Team supports candidates in deciding which course is best suited to them. They do this by getting to know the candidate’s personality, skillset, and ambitions during a thorough screening process. This process consists of a telephone interview, requesting information and checking qualifications. Through doing so, the team are then able to place that candidate onto the appropriate course for them and their career.
