An apprenticeship isn’t just a job. And it’s not just a course.
It’s a full-time role, a salary, real experience, recognised qualifications, and personal development, all in one.
If you’re deciding between college, university, or straight into work, it can be hard to know which path is right. But apprenticeships are a powerful middle ground that help you earn, learn and grow all at once.
Here are ten clear, career-changing reasons why apprenticeships might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Forget the classroom-only approach. With an apprenticeship, you’re in a real job from day one.
You learn by doing. Working on real projects, solving actual problems, and applying skills in real time. For many learners, it’s the best way to make things stick. You don’t just memorise the theory, you understand how it works in the real world.
And that kind of hands-on learning? Employers love it.
An apprenticeship doesn’t mean figuring things out on your own.
At work, you’ll learn alongside people who know the job inside out. At the same time, your training provider gives you structured support and guidance, helping you build the skills and knowledge to grow with confidence.
At Remit, our trainers are experts with real industry experience. That means everything you learn is relevant, useful, and built to help you succeed.
Many apprenticeship programmes are designed with employers. That means they include the exact skills, knowledge, and behaviours that companies need.
You won’t waste time on things that don’t help your future. You’ll build capabilities that are in demand across the country, helping you stand out when applying for your next role or progressing in your career.
This is training that opens doors.
Whether you’re leaving school, changing careers, or already in work and looking to grow - there’s an apprenticeship level to suit you.
From entry-level programmes to degree-level qualifications, there’s no ‘right age’ or ‘right time’ to begin. You just need the right mindset and a willingness to learn.
With our training, you’ll get tailored advice and clear pathways that help you find the apprenticeship that fits your goals, not just your current experience.
Level 2: Build strong foundations
Perfect for beginners - develop core skills and knowledge to get started in your chosen career path.
Level 3: Take the next step
Designed for those with some experience - advance your skills, grow your confidence and take on more responsibility.
Level 4: Develop specialist expertise
Ideal for experienced professionals - gain deeper knowledge and strategic skills to lead within your role or department.
Level 5: Lead with impact
For senior team members and aspiring leaders - build the high-level skills needed to manage people, projects and performance effectively.
It’s not just mechanics, electricians, or hairdressers. Today, apprenticeships cover everything from digital marketing to leadership, HR to data analysis, software development to business administration.
If you’re interested in it, there’s probably an apprenticeship for it.
And new programmes are being developed all the time, so you’re not tied to one sector or one route. Your options are broader than ever.
While university students often leave with tens of thousands of pounds in debt, apprentices earn a salary and pay no tuition fees.
That’s right: no loans, no repayments, no financial worry hanging over your head. Your employer covers the cost of your training, and you get a monthly wage while you learn.
It’s a smart, sustainable way to build your career, especially if you're keen to avoid debt but still want qualifications.
In an apprenticeship, you’re surrounded by people with experience, insights, and connections. You’re not just learning from them, you’re building relationships that can shape your future career.
You’ll naturally meet colleagues, clients, suppliers, and mentors. And if you make a good impression? It opens doors for future roles and opportunities, both inside your current company and beyond.
Your career starts now, not after your course ends.
When you complete an apprenticeship, you’ve got something powerful on your CV:
It shows employers that you’ve done the job, not just studied it. You’ve learned how to contribute to a team, solve problems, communicate effectively, and manage your time.
That makes you a stronger candidate in almost any industry.
Apprenticeships build more than technical know-how. You’ll strengthen the soft skills that matter wherever your career takes you:
These are the traits that employers look for, and they’ll set you up for a career, not just a job.
We also support you with employability skills like CV writing, interviews, and work etiquette, so you feel ready for what comes next.
This one matters.
When you’re in the right apprenticeship, you’ll feel engaged, challenged and motivated. You’ll learn things that interest you. You’ll meet people who bring out the best in you. You’ll discover what work can feel like when it aligns with your strengths.
That doesn’t mean every day is easy, but it means every day counts. You’re building towards something that matters.
And that’s worth showing up for.
We work with top employers across the UK, from global brands to local businesses, helping them find and develop the best new talent. And we don’t just place you and walk away. We support you, guide you, and make sure you’re set up to thrive.
With personalised coaching, expert trainers, modern facilities, and a focus on wellbeing, you’ll feel looked after from start to finish.
There’s no single story. Apprenticeships are flexible, inclusive, and designed to work around real life.
If this sounds like your kind of learning, we’d love to help.
We’ll match you to the right opportunity, guide you through the application process, and support you through every stage of the journey.
You don’t need to know all the answers. You just need to be ready to start.
