Doing an apprenticeship should be a valuable and rewarding experience that not only teaches you a trade but also gives you real-world work experience, allows you to gain a recognised qualification, and pays you a wage while you learn. Along with the thousands of other apprentices around the West Midlands, you have taken a fantastic step towards launching a successful career in your chosen field.
No matter where you are in your apprenticeship journey, whether you have just started or are approaching your final assessment, you might have questions from time to time.

If so, this page is for you. We have collated information and resources to support and advise you throughout your West Midlands apprenticeship.
