What academic standard is expected?

Young people who want to become an Apprentice will need to show that they have the ability to complete the programme. Normal entry to the Advanced Apprenticeship level is via 5 GCSEs with grades A* to C with, ideally, English and Maths being two of those subjects.

Entry to the Apprenticeship level can be gained with lower grades. They will also be assessed for general ability in their chosen area of study by their training provider.
