What's it all about?
Whether you are looking for a job that enables you to carry on learning, or are already in employment and want to gain further qualifications, an Apprenticeship could be the option for you.
They allow you to start work and earn a decent wage, while learning new skills that will lead to nationally recognised qualifications. So, if you want to earn and learn, get in touch.
Who are they for?

What do I get out of it?
- Doing an Apprenticeship means you can earn while you learn and learn in a way that is best suited to you - learning through hands on experience on the job.
- Research shows that apprentices earn, on average, over £100,000 more throughout their lifetime than other employees. Your career doesn't have to stop at the Advanced Apprenticeship, if you want to go on to University you will find many institutes of Higher Education value your skills and knowledge and will happily offer you a place on a Foundation Degree or other higher level qualifications.
- Your employer and LOTA will make sure you have a mentor. Their job is to ensure that your training fits your personal requirements, offers the skills needed for the job and satisfies national standards. They will also be there to help you through any difficult times.
- Apprenticeships can be demanding but they are very rewarding. Because Apprenticeships train you in the skills employers want, they give you choices in your career. When you've finished you can carry on working, maybe get promoted or go on to higher education in a college or university.
