Apprenticeship Training

A14 works in partnerships with various providers and can support young people in their apprenticeship within the Logistics and related industries.

What are Apprenticeships?  

As employees, apprentices earn a wage and work alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. 

Apprentices receive training to work towards nationally recognised qualifications. Anyone living in England, over 16 years-old and not in full-time education can apply.

Within the Logistics Sector, there are Standards in Warehouse, Traffic Office , Business Administrator, Customer Service, Management or Team Leader. 

What do you get paid?   
There is a minimum apprentice wage, however, as employees many apprentices earn significantly more.

Who are they for?           
Apprenticeships are open to all age groups above 16 years-old whether you are just leaving school, have been working for years or are seeking to start a new career. You just need to be living in England and not taking part in full-time education

Levels          
Apprenticeships are increasingly recognised as the gold standard for work-based training.

Training    

Apprenticeships are designed with the help of the employers in the industry, so they offer a structured programme that takes you through the skills you need to do a job well. 

There may be additional specific training courses (eg Fork Lift licence) where your employer will add this to the framework. There are targets and checks to make sure that your employer is supporting you and you are making progress.

As an employee you will be in employment for most of your time as most training takes place on the job. You also have visits from your assessor to help you gain your qualification and this can involve training at a local training Centre or away from your working environment. Your employment will be for at least 30 hours per week

All Apprenticeships must include the following elements:

a)   A competency qualification which must be achieved by the apprentice to qualify for an Apprenticeship certificate.  This is the qualification which is required to demonstrate competence in performing the skill, trade or occupation to which the standard relates

b)   Functional Skills (e.g. Maths and English qualifications or a GCSE at Grade A-C. 
At the end of the programme there is an End Point Assessment by the awarding body to confirm knowledge, skills and behaviours have been met on the programme
