Lucy, apprentice, aged 19.“I have loved the independence and confidence I have gained during my time as an apprentice, I’m achieving, earning and learning and I couldn’t have asked for better support from the College of Animal Welfare (CAW).

I never imagined I could do this well and progress the amount I have in the space of only 11 months!”

Training

You will be working towards a nationally recognised qualification, which will be studied on-the-job via work-based learning or by online learning, or attending college on a day-release basis depending upon which apprenticeship you choose to study. Apprenticeships take between 14 months and 3 years to complete.

Who can undertake an apprenticeship?

You will need to be over 16 years of age, living in England and not in full-time education. There are some additional eligibility conditions which you will need to meet. If you are interested in undertaking an apprenticeship please contact us and we will go through your individual circumstances to check if you can apply.

Unfortunately if you have a qualification at the same level or above (e.g. HNC/HND/Degree) in a related subject to the apprenticeship you wish to undertake you may not be eligible.
