Apply for an apprenticeship

There are two types of apprenticeship - intermediate and advanced. 

• Intermediate Apprenticeships (equivalent to five good GCSE passes)
  
• Advanced Level Apprenticeships (equivalent to two A level passes)

The Council has experience of providing quality training placements for apprentices. We also use this programme as a recruitment tool and many of our apprentices are recruited into permanent positions during or following their training programme.
