School Leaver – Apprenticeship myths
You may have heard that apprenticeships are second best to university, or that they don’t lead to real careers. The truth is very different. Apprenticeships today offer a direct route to a degree, professional status, and a job - without debt.
MYTH
“Apprenticeships aren’t as good as degrees.”
REALITY
Apprenticeships are recognised as equivalent to traditional degrees – and Walbrook’s programmes go one step further, offering a Level 6 degree and chartered status, debt-free.
MYTH
“They’re only for vocational trades.”
REALITY
Not anymore. From financial services to medicine, apprenticeships exist across almost every profession.
MYTH
“Apprenticeships are for people who don’t do well at school.”
REALITY
Apprenticeships are for everyone. Just like university, each programme has entry requirements, and we will help you find the right starting level for you.
