Why choose an Apprenticeship route?

An apprenticeship training course can be an excellent choice for a student who wants to gain practical, hands-on experience in their chosen field while also earning a salary. Unlike traditional classroom-based education, apprenticeships allow students to learn on the job, working alongside experienced professionals and getting real-world experience from day one. This can be especially valuable for students who prefer a more hands-on approach to learning, as they can see how their theoretical knowledge applies in a practical setting.

Additionally, completing an apprenticeship can often lead to better job prospects and higher earnings in the future. Overall, choosing an apprenticeship training course with Woodcock & Wilson is an excellent way for students to jump-start their career and gain valuable skills that will serve them well throughout their professional life.
