What Support can I get as a Care Experienced Apprentice?
By saying care experienced we are referring to anyone who has been or is currently in care or from a looked after background at any stage of their life, no matter how short, including adopted children who were previously looked after.
If you are care experienced, you may be able to access extra support to help you complete your apprenticeship.
Care Leaver Bursary
There is a bursary available for eligible care leavers (including those still in care) to support you financially during your apprenticeship. This is £1,000 if you started your apprenticeship before 1 August 2023, or £3,000 if you started your apprenticeship on or after 1 August 2023. The bursary is to help you financially during the first year of your apprenticeship.
Your training provider and employer may also receive additional funding to support you to complete your apprenticeship.

“Good afternoon Paul.
I would like to thank you all at Achievement Training for the support, care and quality of teaching that my daughter experienced when she was with you last year.
You helped to build her confidence and self belief and she is now in a position where she has received 4 University offers including Exeter University – part of the prestigious Russel Group.
I do not think she would be in this position without her time with you.”

Did you know that the traditional university route is not the only option for you to get qualified to a degree level? Degree apprenticeships offer an excellent route for those who want to avoid high student debt, earn a salary and start working in your career straight away!
There are so many opportunities out there right now, from a Global Markets Apprentice at the Bank of America, Sales Operations at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, a Trainee Nursing Associate with the NHS, a Police Officer to a Nuclear Scientist and more! There are more apprenticeship opportunities than ever before at some of the best companies in the world.
But what is a degree apprenticeship?
Higher apprenticeships include qualifications at level 4 and above. They can be suitable for those looking to progress from level 3 qualifications, including advanced apprenticeships and T Levels. Degree apprenticeships are offered by universities and other higher education providers. They contain either a full degree or degree-level qualification and go up to master’s level (which is post-graduate).
Typically, a degree apprenticeship can take 3-6 years to complete depending on the course level. Most of your time will be spent working, but you will also be studying part-time at university; for example, you could spend one or two days a week at university studying. Your time will usually be divided between 20% studying and 80% working.
Entry requirements
This will depend on the apprenticeship level and the employer, but generally they will ask for at least a level 3 qualification. You can achieve this by completing A-Levels, T-Levels or an apprenticeship. Employers also look for other skills, such as communication, leadership and passion.
Applying for a degree apprenticeship
To apply for an apprenticeship, you will need to apply in the same way as a job. This includes submitting an application which includes your CV and a cover letter. There are vacancies throughout the year, with deadlines for each position, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the industry vacancies which are out there and make sure you get your application in time.
