‘Earn while you Learn’

We offer a wide range of apprentice training programmes for people of all ages and across various sectors of industry, giving you the opportunity to study and earn money at the same time.

To join an apprentice training programme, you must be employed as learning takes place through a combination of on and off the job training.  On the job, your employer will pay you at least the minimum apprenticeship wage as set by the government. Off the job, you will study for nationally recognised work-related qualifications, such as NVQs (at Levels 2 and 3) and technical certificates, as well as developing competency in a range of Key Skills.

Learning both on and off the job will greatly improve your competency and performance to the benefit of both you and your employer, and will help you to progress in your chosen career.

The length of an apprenticeship varies depending on the job you’re doing, your age and how much experience you have. On completion you will be awarded a certificate of apprenticeship and you can choose to progress on to an ‘Advanced Apprenticeship’ or further study, such as a Foundation Degree at Macclesfield College.

Macclesfield College offers apprentice training programmes in the following areas:

• Accounting and Payroll
• Business and Administration
• Child Care, Learning and Development
• Customer Service
• Delivering Learning
• Electrical Engineering
• Hairdressing & Beauty Therapy
• Health and Social Care

For more information see www.apprenticeships.org.uk

GCSE English and GCSE Maths are viewed as essential requirements for many jobs and so holding these qualifications may improve your chances of employment. If you are 16-18 years old you can study GCSEs part-time alongside your full-time courses – ideal for re-sits. Choose from:

• GCSE English Language
• GCSE Maths
• GCSE Science (Single Award)

If you are re-sitting you must have previously achieved a grade D in the subject.
