Apprenticeships: earn a wage while you train

Structured, employer-led training combining paid work with recognised qualifications.

Earn while you learn

Apprentices are employed and paid a wage from day one, alongside structured off-the-job training.

Employer-led training

Delivered in partnership with construction, engineering, business and care employers across Glasgow and the West of Scotland.

Recognised qualifications

Apprenticeship frameworks map onto SCQF-recognised qualifications valued by UK employers.

How it works

Structured training, real employment

Apprentices split their time between a host employer and college-delivered training blocks, working toward an industry-recognised qualification without stepping away from paid work.

Apprenticeship questions

Apprenticeship places are primarily reserved for UK/Irish nationals and settled residents due to employment law and visa sponsorship requirements. International applicants should instead consider our Diploma pathway, which includes an equivalent paid placement year.
