An apprenticeship is a real, paid job. You work for an employer and train with us at the same time, and come out with a nationally recognised qualification and the experience to go with it.
From a first job in a nursery through to supporting a whole class. Early Years Practitioner and Playworker at Level 2, then Early Years Educator and Teaching Assistant at Level 3 for people ready to plan and lead rather than assist.

Most people looking do not have one yet, and that is completely normal. Not ready, or no vacancy that suits? A full-time course reaches the same jobs, and you can do an apprenticeship later.
