You can study these courses on a part-time or full-time basis. Full-time generally means a time commitment of the-days-a-week and part-time generally means one-day a week (this can vary depending on the course).
Often you will be in a class with our younger learners, although some courses naturally attract more mature learners.
Our experience is that a blend of ages creates a richer learning experience in terms of the variety of perspectives and experience.
As an adult you are expected to pay for your training. But there are a number of options (subject to eligibility Criteria) that can cover some or all of the costs.
If you want to you can add to your technical training course by improving your Maths and English.

When you're an apprentice:
Once you’ve successfully finished, you have plenty of choices. You could apply for another apprenticeship or find a career that uses your new skills.
Your salary will depend upon the industry, location and type of apprenticeship you choose.
The minimum wage for an apprentice is £3.90 per hour if you’re aged 16 to 18 - but many employers pay far more than this.
What will it cost me?
When you become an apprentice, you’ll need to cover the cost of your day-to-day expenses, such as lunch and travel.
If you’re a care leaver aged 16-24, you’ll receive a £1,000 bursary payment to support you in the first year of your apprenticeship.

An apprenticeship combines studying with on-the-job training; it provides the opportunity to develop practical skills, earn a wage and work towards nationally recognised qualifications.
As an apprentice you will work for a local firm and then either attend college to complete some technical training, or an assessor will visit you in the workplace to carry out the training with you there.

An apprenticeship is a job and companies advertise apprenticeship vacancies in the same way they do with job vacancies.
You need to find one you're interested, apply, have an interview and then if you're successful, you can get started.
