Want to be the next Jamie Oliver, Karen Millen or George Clark? Want to kick-start a rewarding career without the cost of a university degree? Want to gain an increasingly prestigious qualification while gaining invaluable experience? 

Then this ultimate guide to apprenticeships is for you!

Fully revised and updated, the second edition of Understanding Apprenticeships continues to provide clear and practical guidance for students, parents and advisers exploring whether an apprenticeship is the right choice. It explains how to identify and apply for suitable programmes, what to expect from both work and study, and how to make the most of the experience. Through real case studies, it offers honest insights into both the opportunities and challenges of apprenticeship life.
