Did you know you could use your Apprenticeship qualification to study at higher education level, at a university or at a local college?

You may be able to study for higher level qualifications in your chosen area of work, for example: a Foundation Degree, an HNC or HND, a degree or a professional qualification.

You could study full-time or part-time and there is a possibility that your employer may sponsor you.

You would need to do your research carefully as not all courses at all universities and colleges accept NVQ Level 3 as entry to higher education, but if you obtain an appropriate technical certificate this may also provide you with the relevant entry requirements.

If you are thinking of doing an Apprenticeship and would like to know more about this option contact your local Connexions Centre If you are already doing an Apprenticeship, talk to your training provider, the Student Services Department if you are attending college, or contact your local Connexions Centre. Also, look out for University/local college open days and information events.


You can also find out about how other people have used their Apprenticeships to continue learning and gaining further qualification by looking at the following case studies:
