h s i ps e c i t n e r p p A If you are leaving school, or perhaps switching careers, and need to ‘earn while you learn’, then an Apprenticeship could be for you. Apprentices are employed, so you will earn a salary but can carry on learning the skills and training needed to progress in your job. During your Apprenticeship you will work in your chosen subject towards either an NVQ/diploma level 2 (Intermediate Apprenticeship) or NVQ/diploma level 3 (Advanced Apprenticeship). If you are aged under 18 you will work a maximum of 40 hours per week, if you are aged 18 or over you will work a maximum of 48 hours per week, which includes time spent at the College. You will receive a wage and will be entitled to paid holiday each year. Our Apprenticeships are based around vocational areas and offer a complementary mix of vocational training and first-hand practical skills. You will be able to mirror what you do in the College with what you do in your work and vice versa. Plus, you will also gain a number of qualifications to show on your CV.
Recognised by employers Apprenticeships have been designed and developed in partnership with employers and provide an effective, high-quality, work-based route to developing the skills employers are seeking.
National Vocational Qualifications/Diplomas All Apprenticeships involve working towards a national vocational qualification/diploma. They are a great way to progress your education and employability, as you will apply the practical skills and knowledge you are learning at the College directly into the workplace. They are attractive to both employers and employees as they are based on an employee’s performance at work. Gaining a nationally recognised qualification gives you the opportunity to explore other routes into further education, progress to university-level study or gain a promotion at work.

Functional Skills (Formerly Key Skills) All apprentices study functional skills which are essential for your future progress and employment. Functional skills include English, mathematics and information communication technology. Gaining relevant functional skills helps ensure that new entrants to the world of work will develop these vital problem solving skills, ensuring that they are well equipped for success in employment, further learning and life.
Employment Rights and Responsibilities (ERR) Each Apprenticeship must include a requirement for you to develop knowledge and understanding about the world of employment. Employment Rights and Responsibilities are a mandatory component of all Apprenticeship frameworks in England and Wales. They are an important part of ensuring that apprentices are fully prepared for employment in their chosen occupation.
Personal Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS) PLTS comprise of six groups of skills that, together with functional skills, are essential to success in learning, life and work. PLTS captures the essential skills of managing self, managing relationships with others and managing learning, performance and work. It’s these skills that will enable you to enter work and adult life as a confident and capable individual.
The six skill groups are: enquiries • independent thinkers • creative learners • reflective team workers • self managers • effective participators. •

Higher Apprenticeships
Case Study I left school in 2003 and went straight into a Business Administration Apprenticeship with City College Plymouth. I completed an NVQ Level 2 and Level 3 in Business Administration whilst Ashleigh Reed undertaking my Apprenticeship. I have been working full-time at the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry, as a HR Administrative Assistant since April 2005. I studied a Foundation Degree in Human Resource Management parttime whilst working and it was an extremely worthwhile qualification to undertake. These courses have given me not only confidence but a good grounding allowing me to see a future of sustainable employment which is a huge relief in this economic age. I hope to move onto become a HR Advisor or Office Manager in the future. Once I have built up the experience I need to match the knowledge I have gained there should be no stopping me.
Higher Apprentices’ work towards work-based learning qualifications such as an NVQ/diploma level 4, and in some cases, a knowledge-based qualification such as a foundation degree. The choice of Apprenticeships means that you can start at a level that suits you, and progress right through to degree level as shown below:
eship ic t n e r p p A e t ia Intermed
Advanced Apprenticeship
Higher Apprenticeship Foundation Degree
Full Higher Education Degree
Secondary Aim(s) Most Apprenticeships will include the underpinning knowledge and understanding relevant to the NVQ/diploma included in the Apprenticeship framework.
Life after Apprenticeships Many of our students find that once they have taken this first step and joined one of our Apprenticeship programmes, they are eager to progress to higher education as a good way of increasing their earning power. Apprenticeships have also helped people develop skills as potential supervisors, technicians and managers.

Case Study Prince’s Trust Success Story Ryan is currently undertaking the Ryan Cork Prince’s Trust Team programme whilst he completes a Personalised Learning Programme. He has taken part in two community projects; one at Austin Farm Primary School and the other at Stoke Damerel Pre-school. Whilst at Austin Farm, Ryan took part in gardening and general groundwork - clearing leaves, weeding, planting new shrubs and fixing fencing. He also designed a mural to go on display in the playground. His design was chosen by the Head Teacher out of the selection offered by the team. Whilst working at Stoke Damerel, Ryan took the lead whilst clearing up the damage caused by arsonists who had struck at the school. He also managed to remove a large bush from the grounds, which took a great deal of perseverance as it was a very difficult task. Once again, Ryan worked well in the team coming up with ideas and encouraging others. In the past Ryan has been prevented from reaching his full potential due to problems with coping with ADHD. Since joining the Personalised Learning and Prince’s Trust Team programmes Ryan has demonstrated that he can control his behaviour and conduct himself in a mature manner when required. He has worked tirelessly, constantly coming up with ideas and has impressed his team leader and team members with his dedication and hard work. Ryan has now completed a total of 81 hours of work contributing to the community, which he has thoroughly enjoyed. He has gained skills in working with others, problem solving and has greatly improved his behaviour but, most importantly, he has shown himself that he can take control of his own behaviour and manage his ADHD when he works hard at it.

Crystal’s participation and commitment to the course, in particular to the community project she has been involved with, has acted as a benchmark for many others to aspire toward. During her time on the programme Crystal has assisted with the sanding and varnishing of 60 chairs for a local church and has even received local appreciation through press recognition in The Herald. In addition to this, Crystal has provided support to her peers during cookery sessions and is always on-hand to provide advice and help as required. Since enrolling on the course Crystal has successfully secured a work placement at a department store in Plymouth. She has settled in well and is making a really positive impact during her placement, as highlighted by Crystal’s manager, Leah Wooldridge: “I am very impressed with Crystal and I will say she’s got the potential to be a brilliant caterer. It’s not often a young person will come into catering and be willing to look for work and use their initiative.
