Apprenticeships

What's great about apprenticeships is that you get paid while you study.

So no tuition fees and no student loans to be paid back.

Apprenticeships vary from 2 to 6 years but most are around 4 years long. If you are not someone who is naturally academic it's a great alternative to university giving you a solid foundation for a career.
