How long does an apprenticeship last? Anywhere between one and four years, depending on the level and type of apprenticeship. A craft apprenticeship will generally last for 4 years, during which time you will spend 3 different periods in off-the-job training. Generally, the first off-the-job training phase will take place in an Education and Training Board ETB Training Centre while the subsequent off-the-job training phases will take place in an Institute of Technology. The skills you develop will be assessed through on-the-job competence testing as well as off-the-job modular assessment and examinations and, if you complete these assessments successfully, you will be awarded an Advanced Certificate — craft level 6 on the National Framework of Qualifications.
Craft apprenticeships include carpentry, plumbing, motor mechanics and electrical apprenticeships. Apprenticeships introduced from on lead to an award between Levels on the National Framework of Qualifications. Each apprenticeship programme can be for between 2 and 4 years. There are a number of models of on-the-job and off-the-job training, as well as different models of delivery and different target groups including people already in employment.

The apprenticeship incentivisation scheme for employers has been extended until 31 December Some employers may prefer someone with a bit more maturity and experience.
On the other hand, employment costs are typically lower for apprentices aged , with more funding available. Employers may also have specific reasons for investing in apprenticeships. A business may want to create career opportunities for school leavers. Or they may prefer to mentor young people, shaping them to suit their company culture. There are several factors to consider when weighing up whether an apprenticeship is right for you as an older candidate, including wages, funding, and what you want to get out of your career.
This applies to apprentices of any age for the first year of your training. We do actively encourage our employers to pay more than the apprentice minimum, but this cannot be guaranteed. Lower wages can be off-putting for slightly older candidates with financial obligations.
Although some apprentices may be eligible for Universal Credit income support, this is limited and would depend on your personal finances and living situation.
