Training opportunities
Apprenticeships offer structured training with an employer and can lead to nationally recognised qualifications.
They provide a route into a number of healthcare careers. You can use an apprenticeship route to progress from a Clinical Support Worker or Health Care Assistant role through to a Nurse Associate or a Registered Nurse. If you are in employment you can speak to your employer about how to access an apprenticeship to further your career or if you aren’t in employment you can look out for apprenticeship opportunities at Gov.uk, Find an apprenticeship website or UCAS. Below is an illustration of some of the training providers that offer the Nurse Associate, Mental Health and Learning Disability Apprenticeship and the traditional route.
