Once you have chosen the industry you'd like to work in and the apprenticeship you would like to study, you will then need to apply online. You can apply for an apprenticeship by clicking the 'Apply for this Course' button on the individual apprenticeship course information. You then will be guided through the simple application process.

Please note: This stage of becoming an apprentice can be completed with or without an employer, BUT you will need an employer to start your apprenticeship.

As mentioned above, you will need an employer, who is willing to offer you an apprenticeship, before you can start your training. Finding a relevant apprenticeship employer is your responsibility, but Boston College's Apprenticeship Team is here to help.

I already have a job/employer

You can start an apprenticeship with your current employer, and base your training around your current job role.

You need to have an employment contract for a minimum of 30 hours per week. However, terms are becoming more flexible, and if you do work less than 30 hours per week, you can still be considered for an apprenticeship.

I do not have a job/employer

Once you have decided which apprenticeship you'd like to study and which career you'd like to progress in, you will then need to find a suitable apprenticeship job role within this industry (ideally for a minimum of 30 hours per week).

You can view Boston College's current apprenticeship vacancies by clicking the 'Apprenticeship Vacancies' link at the top of this page. The Boston College Apprenticeship Team is also on hand to help match you to employers, as well as providing information on the training and qualifications available. Local vacancies are also advertised on the government website, apply-apprenticeship
