How to Prepare
for your Interview
Information for
Students
An Apprentice
is an employee
who is following
a learning programme
alongside their
job. As an Apprentice
you’ll build up
your knowledge
and skills at work
and gain qualifications
with the college
– earning money
and learning at
the same time.
An Apprenticeship
is a package of
several qualifications
that together add
up to either a
Level 2 Apprenticeship
or a Level 3 Advanced
Apprenticeship.
All Apprenticeships
involve National
Vocational Qualifications
(NVQs) and Key
Skills qualifications
in Communication
and Application
of Number. Most
also involve a
Technical Certificate
such as a BTEC
or City & Guilds,
and some include
additional qualifications
such as extra Key
Skills and other
certificates. You’ll
receive certificates
for the individual
qualifications
as you achieve
them, and an overall
Apprenticeship
certificate once
you’ve completed
the whole programme.
What are
the entry requirements?
You
must have a job
that matches
your chosen Apprenticeship,
and the enthusiasm
and commitment
to undertake learning while working full-time.
Applicants must be employed for at least
30 hours per week (this can include time
spent at College undertaking training) and
live in England; they should not have a degree
or be taking part in any other substantial
government-funded programme.
All apprenticeship programmes demand certain GCSE (or equivalent) passes. Please see individual course guides for further specific information.
All applicants
must attend and
be successful at
an interview and
guidance session
with York College.
Applicants for
Plumbing, Electrical
Installation and
Construction Crafts
will have to complete
an aptitude test,
and there may from
time to time be
similar tests for
other subjects.
Your employer must
pass a York College
workplace inspection
to check that they
meet Health and
Safety requirements.
