Apprenticeship / TRAINEESHIP

After completing the Level 3 certificate the normal path for students to complete their Level 4 National Certificate or Tradesman level qualification is through an apprenticeship or traineeship. These vary by employer but are generally about 3-4 years in duration. During this time trainees complete the required unit standards through a mix of on job training and block courses. The trainee at this time is considered an apprentice and is therefore paid a salary by the employer.
