Common Questions

Here’s what you need to know about Apprenticeships.

An apprenticeship is a job with training. Apprentices work in a real role while studying towards a recognised qualification, gaining practical experience and developing the skills employers need.

Apprenticeships are open to anyone aged 16 or over, whether you are just leaving school, looking to retrain, or wanting to progress your career in the science or healthcare sectors.

Most apprenticeships take between 18 months and 4 years to complete, depending on the level and subject area.

Yes. Apprentices are employed and paid a salary. Many employers offer rates above the national minimum apprenticeship wage.

Apprentices work towards industry-recognised qualifications and complete an End-Point Assessment (EPA) to demonstrate their competence and readiness for the workplace.

CSR Scientific Training delivers a blend of workplace learning, online sessions, and classroom teaching. This ensures apprentices can apply knowledge directly to their role while developing new skills.

Apprentices receive support from their tutor, employer, and mentor throughout the programme. Regular reviews ensure progress is on track and additional help is available if needed.

Entry requirements vary depending on the apprenticeship level. Most programmes require GCSEs in English and maths, or equivalent. Initial assessments and a skills scan will help confirm the right level.

Many apprentices move into permanent roles with their employer, while others progress to higher-level apprenticeships or further study.

You can apply directly through our vacancies page or via the Government’s Find an Apprenticeship service. Employers looking to recruit apprentices can contact CSR Scientific Training to discuss tailored programmes.
