You can work while you learn, and earn while you learn! You can opt to obtain advanced-level qualifications, with many trainees going on to completing degrees as they progress through their career and an increasing number of Level 6 and Level 7 (degree/postgraduate) apprenticeships are now available following the introduction of new Apprenticeship Standards. What’s more, apprentices often have their tuition fees paid for by their employer, and with the costs of university study ever increasing, apprenticeships look like an even more appealing option, if you don’t want the student loan debt.
