Apprenticeship levels

Apprenticeships are available in different levels depending on your previous qualifications and experience.

Intermediate - At Intermediate level you'll pick up the fundamentals of a role and key skills to start your career. Intermediate is level 2 which is broadly equivalent to 5 GCSEs at grades A*-C.

Advanced - At Advanced level you'll learn more in-depth skills. You’ll likely have more responsibility in your job as well. Advanced is level 3 and equivalent to 2 A-level passes.

Higher – Higher apprenticeships are foundation degree level and higher and an excellent alternative to university. Higher apprenticeships can be level 4, 5, 6 or 7.

You can work through the levels or start at a level depending on your current experience and qualifications. For info on the levels we have available please check the corresponding course page.
