Petroc Prospectus | APPRENTICESHIPS Welcome to Apprenticeships


An apprenticeship is a genuine job with an accompanying skills development programme. It provides you with the perfect combination of hands-on experience and a salary whilst also studying at college.


By the end of your apprenticeship, you will have gained the skills and knowledge needed to progress in your chosen career - or you could move onto the next apprenticeship level.


There is no upper age limit to be an apprentice. As long as you are over 16, living in England and not in full-time education then an apprenticeship could be perfect for you. What’s more, an apprenticeship will cost you nothing; it’s paid for by the Government and your employer.


Apprenticeships are available across a huge range of industries, whether it’s law, engineering, nursing or design. The levels of apprenticeship on offer range from Level 2 (equivalent to GCSE) right up to higher and degree apprenticeships.


As an apprentice, you will also have access to all our services and facilities including access to our learning centres and welfare advice.
