Parent and Guardian Information

For parents of students considering apprenticeships, it’s common to be more familiar with the traditional university path. You might not have first-hand experience with apprenticeships, leading you to see them as a secondary option. However, apprenticeships could be the perfect fit for your child.

Apprenticeships combine study with paid employment, leading to a professional qualification. Benefits include no tuition fees, covered by the employer and government, and a salary for living expenses.

While traditionally linked to trades like electricians and plumbers, apprenticeships now cover diverse fields such as accounting, IT, law, and television. Degree apprenticeships even offer a path to a BSc or BA.

Apprenticeships suit those who thrive with practical learning, providing valuable hands-on experience and enhancing future job prospects.
