Higher Apprenticeships
Higher Apprenticeships are work-based courses which include a qualification at Levels 4 and 5. Taking between one and five years to complete, they are a great way of gaining a university-level qualification, along with real work experience.
You’ll get substantial on-the-job training, backed by the theory of academic study. Best of all you’ll leave your course debt-free as you will have earned a wage while you study and you’ll have no tuition fees to pay! (Tuition fees will need paying, but usually your employer will pay).
