Apprenticeships are a great option both for GCSE school leavers and A-Level students who want to get straight onto the career ladder, or people looking for a change in career. A-Level 3 Apprenticeship is academically equivalent to A-Levels, although remember that the Apprenticeship is a vocational level.

Where possible staff from Bournemouth and Poole College’s BASE team will help you find an employer and a place of work (although students who are already employed are welcome to apply if sponsored by their employer). Your offer of Apprenticeship training will be dependent upon work placements being available. Please note it is the employer’s final decision as to whether an Apprenticeship placement is offered.

You will need to have Mathematics and English GCSE Grade 4 and above (formerly Grades A*-C) or equivalent, and be willing to learn. Some previous work experience could be advantageous. A level 2 qualification in Business Administration would be useful but is not essential.

You should be able to demonstrate:

• An interest in Business
• Reliability and flexibility
• The ability to work in a team as well as on your own as well as being self-motivated
• Good organisation, communication and computer skills
• The ability to work under pressure and to strict deadlines
• Commitment to learning

You will be continually assessed throughout your training, mostly in the workplace, with day-release at Bournemouth and Poole College. Your progress will be reviewed regularly and achievable targets set to ensure you complete your Apprenticeship on time.

On successful completion of this Apprenticeship you could progress onto another Apprenticeship, such as Team Leader/Supervisor or HR Support, or Associate Project Manager. You could also move into a different type of role, such as Marketing or IT.
