Apprenticeship Entry Requirements

Applicants will only be able to enrol on an apprenticeship if they are in a job role (or roles) within their organisation that provides the opportunity for them to gain the knowledge, skills and behaviours as specified on the specification. Individual employers may stipulate higher entry requirements than those stated. The entry requirements listed here should therefore be treated as the minimum entry requirements.
