How much will I be paid?

Apprentices can earn while they learn and do not need to worry about paying back student loans.

The National Minimum Wage for apprentices between 16-18 (or anyone in their first year of an apprenticeship) is £4.15 per hour (will be £4.81 per hour from 1st April 2022). All other apprentices are entitled to the standard National Minimum Wage for their age, however many employers pay over this.

Level 2 apprenticeships average between £180 and £200 per week, and Level 3 and 4 apprenticeships usually pay more, with employers often increasing wages in line with skills, experience and qualifications.
