• IT Apprenticeships - What Is It And What Skills
  Do I Need?
•  IT Apprenticeships is an exciting opportunity
  for young people who have an interest in IT or
  similar professions and wish to progress their
  career to a qualification at a later date.
  Apprenticeship is basically a structured system
  for training an existing generation of
  professionals in a specific trade or profession
  with both on-the-job and occasionally some
  accompanying formal study also provided.
  Apprenticeships may also allow young
  professionals to acquire a legally valid license
  to work in a regulated occupational field. It is
  the period during which these apprenticeships
  take place, and the length of time in which they
  may continue to work as an apprentice, that
  determines their eventual placement in an IT
  industry or function. Do you want to learn more?

•  There are two types of IT apprenticeships, on
  the one hand, and these are the Skilled IT
  Apprentice and the Intermediate IT
  Apprenticeship. Skilled apprenticeships are
  generally shorter than the average
  apprenticeships, which take several months from
  the applicant's entry to the apprentice stage to
  the end of their final degree level. Skilled IT
  apprenticeships are usually held by IT industries
  or recruitment agencies and require the IT
  apprentice to complete a set number of classes or
  hours of practical work before they may be deemed
  eligible to start university-level classes.
  Applicants who successfully completed the first
  two years of an IT apprenticeship are usually
  awarded an IT portfolio that demonstrates their
  progression throughout their IT apprenticeship.
  The portfolio is designed to demonstrate the
  abilities of the IT apprentice and to demonstrate
  their technical competencies.

• Intermediate IT Apprenticeships takes a slightly
  longer time to complete than the standard
  apprenticeships, and they are usually conducted
  by universities or colleges. These courses
  involve a combination of classroom learning and
  practical work. At the end of the Intermediate IT
• Apprenticeship, students will usually be expected
  to either obtain a degree level qualification, or
  gain an equivalent certificate to enable them to
  apply for a suitable university course. Skilled
  IT apprentices will usually be awarded a further
  year of training once they have gained a
  qualification, or they may be offered additional
  advanced qualifications in order to upgrade their
  skills.

  Summary
• NowSkills began delivering IT apprenticeships
  since 2013. Along the way, weve learned what it
  takes to create successful IT apprenticeships.
  Our IT apprentices are a mix of already employed
  professionals who are looking for substantial new
  digital skills and qualifications with their
  current employer, and new-to-work IT apprentices
  who have a particular flair for technology, for
  example, coding, and who need an employer that
  can identify their potential and will help them
  to kick start their career.
