An apprenticeship consists of a real job and training, providing you with the opportunity to gain industry knowledge and skills on the job, whilst working towards a nationally recognised qualification. There are no student fees whatsoever - your training costs are funded by the government and your employer.

With an apprenticeship, you get to study for a nationally recognised qualification while earning a salary in a real job.
The first step is to decide which subject area you are interested in. We offer apprenticeship training in a range of subject areas.
When you complete an apprenticeship, you will be employed with and paid by the company you work with. Below are the minimum payment amounts that apprentices must receive (subject to change).
For apprentices aged 19 and over, in the 1st year of the apprenticeship your minimum rate may be lower than the National Minimum Wage. Once you are past the end of the 1st year, you will be paid at least the National Minimum Wage for your age category.
You will get at least 20 days paid holiday per year, plus bank holidays.

Learn about what to expect when dealing with the Hull College Apprenticeships team.
There are two types of apprenticeship - wholly in the workplace and some with day release into College. However, they both involve a mix of work and study.
When you are an apprentice, you are a full staff member of your employer, meaning you get paid and will be part of the workforce.
Your employer may have a range of learning opportunities for you alongside other employees. Details of this may be included in a vacancy advertisement, or you can ask at interview.
However, a key part of your apprenticeship is that you will receive training from us towards a qualification linked to your work.
The type of learning you receive on your apprenticeship will depend on the qualification you are studying for and the requirements of your employer.
With workplace learning, your training will be delivered through various methods including an online e-Portfolio, visits to your employer by your Skills Coach and classroom delivery where requested by your employer.
When apprenticeships are set-up for college learning, you will spend four days in the workplace and one day per week (known as day release) in college to study for your qualification. You will evidence your work via an online e-Portfolio and examinations.
Some apprenticeships include an assessment at the end, such as an exam. Your Skills Coach can advise what applies to your apprenticeship, or you can ask the recruiter when applying for a vacancy.
A wide range of support is available to you throughout your apprenticeship.
