Apprenticeships have a variety of levels – from Level 2 all the way to Level 7. Their rankings are as follows:
Level 2 – Intermediate
Level 3 – Advanced
Level 4 – Certificate of Higher Education
Level 5 – Higher National Diploma (HND)
Level 6 – Degree
Level 7 – Masters
With Level 2 apprenticeships, there are usually no eligibility requirements. As for the other levels, applicants generally need to meet some sort of criteria. However, it’s not necessary to have completed lower-level apprenticeships to enrol on later courses – though this may come in handy.
For instance, at BMS Progress, we have two types of apprenticeships related specifically to leadership: the Level 3 Team Leader Apprenticeship and the Level 5 Leadership Apprenticeship. While you don’t have to, some apprentices choose to enrol on both programmes subsequently to put themselves in the best positions to upskill and progress their careers.
Aimed at first-line management, this apprenticeship imparts fundamental skills and theories on managing and leading teams. The course boosts apprentices’ confidence, enabling them to progress in their role and the organisation and develop their career path. What’s more, it offers a dedicated environment for apprentices to put their know-how, skills, and behaviours into practice.
