What Is the Difference Between an Apprenticeship and a Traineeship?
An apprenticeship focuses on learning a skilled trade over a longer period, while a traineeship is often shorter and suited to entry-level or service-based roles. Both involve paid work and nationally recognised training.

Yes. Apprentices and trainees are paid while completing their training, in line with relevant wages and conditions.

Not always. Many traineeships and some apprenticeships are suitable for people with little or no prior experience.
How Long Do Apprenticeships and Traineeships Take?
Traineeships usually take 12 to 24 months. Apprenticeships typically take three to four years, depending on the trade.
