Apprenticeship FAQs

  • Do I have to be 16 to start an apprenticeship?

    Absolutely not! Apprenticeships are available for anyone over the age of 16 and are suitable for school leavers, graduates, career changers later in life and returners to work. In fact, in the 2023/24 academic year, Under-19s account for just 32.7% of apprenticeship starts (42,740).

  • Can I start my apprenticeship at Skills Village without an employer?

    No. For an apprenticeship to start, an employer needs to be secured. You will not be able to do any learning towards the qualification or start with us until you are with an employer.

  • Can Skills Village help me find an employer?

    We can support with helping you look for an employer by undertaking you through our applicant process which will include a 30 minute interview however we cannot guarantee a placement to anyone due to the sheer number of candidates we are working with.

  • I’m an employer who has never had an apprentice, is it hard to set up?

    We pride ourselves on guiding employers through the apprenticeship set up process to help them and make it as easy as possible and assisting with as much as we can.

  • When can I start an apprenticeship?

    We start apprenticeships each month rather than the traditional September only intake.

  • What GCSE’s do I need to start an apprenticeship?
