An Advanced Apprenticeship is a more demanding qualification, focusing on advanced techniques and supervisory skills. It is designed for those with an Apprenticeship working in a supervisory or managerial position.
Equivalent to two A levels, an Advanced Apprenticeship takes between 18-24 months, depending upon the NVQ being studied and the experience and qualifications of the individual. An Advanced Apprenticeship can also be used as a stepping stone to University.

Your Advanced Apprenticeship consists of the following four elements:
National Vocational Qualification NVQ - Level 3
The NVQ is the most practical element of your Advanced Apprenticeship. It assesses the knowledge and experience you have within your chosen vocational area. It breaks down the key parts of your job into a series of units describing the skills and knowledge you need to do your job effectively. Completion of these units demonstrates that you can actually do your job.
Key Skills
These are skills you use all of the time - at work and at home. All Advanced Apprenticeships include Communication and Application of Number Key skills. Once you have attained your Key Skill qualifications they are transferable to any Apprenticeship and are essential in everyday life.
