Apprenticeships in Scotland

Apprenticeships are a combination of work-based training and college education, giving you the opportunity to earn while you learn. Over the course of an apprenticeship, you will work to achieve SVQs, Key Skills/Core Skills and a Technical Certificate.

Once you have finished your apprenticeship, you will be a skilled craftsperson who will also be employed, and well on your way in your chosen profession.
