How Do You Start An Apprenticeship

Before you begin your apprenticeship, your employer will usually contact you. When this happens, you should try to find out what they are:

  • your working hours
  • the necessary clothing
  • items you need, such as your ID or a notepad and pencils
  • your transportation options, such as where to park or the nearest train station

You will spend at least 20% of your working time doing ‘off-the-job training’ for your apprenticeship. This training may be carried out in several ways. For example, in a college, university, or online at your job.

The business will find you a suitable training provider.

You can find out more about training providers by going to:

  • Consult your teacher or a career coach for assistance
  • Speak with your supervisor
