A new National Minimum Wage for apprentices was introduced on 1 October 2010. The wage applies to all apprentices aged under 19; and apprentices aged 19 or over in the first year of their Apprenticeship.
The apprentice minimum wage is £2.50 per hour and applies to time working, plus time spent training that is part of the Apprenticeship.
Employers are free to pay above the new wage and many do so, but employers must ensure that they are paying their apprentices at least the minimum wage.
Prior to the introduction of the new National Minimum Wage for apprentices, the minimum weekly rate which was required to be paid by employers to apprentices was £95 per week.
Many employers have continued to pay this in the first year to ensure consistency in pay between first year apprentices.
If an apprentice is on a higher wage, the employer must continue to pay that for the remainder of the training or until the apprentice becomes eligible for the full national minimum wage
 

The duration of Apprenticeships for most trades is 3 years. However those of Technical and Instrumentation are 4 years

We can help you formulate a recruitment advert and help you interview possible candidates.

Apprentices will receive training in skills common to all trades before starting their trade specific training. Key skills and a technical certificate appropriate to their chosen skill area is also undertaken. The technical certificate is generally taken at a local FE college on day or block release.
