Apprenticeship retails

Employers should be clear about what level of apprenticeship is being offered and the prospects of progression that may be available.

The information about the level is written down in the commitment statement signed by the apprentice, employer and the learning provider.

There are currently four levels of apprenticeships available for those aged 16 and over:

Intermediate

An intermediate apprenticeship is equivalent to five good GCSE passes. The apprentice work towards level 2 certificates or work-based learning qualifications. These provide the skills required for the apprentice’s chosen career and allow entry to an advanced apprenticeship.

Advanced

An advanced apprenticeship is equivalent to two A Level passes. Advanced apprentices can work towards level 3 work-based learning certificates or qualifications such as a BTEC. To start advanced apprenticeship programme, the applicant should ideally have five GCSEs at grade 4 (formerly grade C) or above or have completed an intermediate apprenticeship.

Higher

A higher apprenticeship is a nationally accredited work-based programme designed to meet employers’ needs at higher skill levels and include qualifications at a level equivalent to higher education (HE).

It offers a progression route from advanced apprenticeships. Higher apprentices gain a recognised professional qualification, technical knowledge, professional skills and wider business competencies. Higher apprenticeships are a different route to traditional university study since they combine working while studying for a work-based academic or vocational high-level qualification.

Higher apprenticeships offer the opportunity to gain qualifications at level 4 and above. These may include foundation degrees, honours degrees, HNCs or HNDs, sector-specific professional qualifications, and in some cases, masters degrees.

Degree

Degree apprenticeships sit on level 6 or 7. Like the other levels they combine paid work with study in the university and lead to bachelor’s or master’s degree. Universities generally set the entry requirement for a degree apprenticeship at least level 3, for instance A Levels.
