About Apprenticeships

As an apprentice, you are employed to carry out your role within the workplace with a minimum of 6 hours per week set aside and dedicated to training - this will be both within your workplace and here at York College & University Centre. Earning a wage whilst you learn is a huge benefit of completing an apprenticeship and can help you kick start your career, providing you with valuable on-the-job skills that are unique to apprenticeship courses.

Apprenticeships are not just for school leavers, anyone who is looking to further their career at any age can enhance their qualifications and can study an apprenticeship to retrain or upskill.

What our students say

“My employer chose to send me to York College as he had trained here and he knew it was a good environment with a high standard of teaching. The tutors have been supportive and pushed me to achieve. There has been endless support, with resources online when I’ve needed extra time outside of College.”
