Apprentice
The earn-while-you-learn route into the profession, including degree apprenticeships. How it works and who it suits.
Knowledge
Apprenticeships, in plain terms.
Apprentice-level roles are the vocational route into the profession. In architecture, degree apprenticeships now run the full pipeline: you work in practice most of the week, study with a partner university the rest, and qualify without tuition fees.
The route suits school leavers and career changers who want to earn while they learn, and employers fund it through the apprenticeship levy. Ask about the level, the university partner and how the study days are protected.
This hub gathers the apprentice-level roles across our jobs board.
