What qualifications do I need to apply for an apprenticeship in civil engineering?

To apply for an apprenticeship in civil engineering, you must be at least 18 years old, have a minimum of five GCSEs with grades A-C (grades 9-4), and be able to travel.

How long is an apprenticeship?

Apprenticeships typically last for at least two years (equivalent to Highers in Scotland and two A Levels in the rest of the UK), and 4-5 years for degree-level apprenticeships.

As an apprentice, you’ll likely spend about 80% of your time working and 20% learning, but this can vary depending on the specific program and where you’re doing it. You might split your time between your workplace, college, or university through day-release or block-release, as well as self-guided study or research.

These schemes are a great way to learn and grow while gaining practical experience!
