Modern Apprenticeships might be right for you if you prefer to learn from hands-on experience, and would prefer part time rather than full time study. Being able to earn while you learn is another plus point.
The Modern Apprenticeship in Rural Skills is available at the following levels:
This sector covers areas such as environmental management, travel and tourism, agriculture and renewable energy. You will learn how to work in a variety of roles in agriculture, fisheries, forestry and woodland management.
Anyone living in Scotland who is over school leaving age can apply. Sometimes employers set an upper age limit, as the Scottish Government doesn’t always fund training for those aged over 24.
You would check this with individual employers.
There are no formal entry requirements for Level 5. Level 5 is required before progression to Level 6 or 7.
You will achieve the relevant Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ), Diploma or other competency based qualification. In addition, you work towards core skills and complete industry specific training.
This apprenticeship will take between 12 and 24 months to complete.
Employment within this sector. The role will depend on level achieved.
