Experienced Worker Assessment – where next?

If you’re based in England and need to gain additional practical experience or knowledge which is likely to take at least 12 months to obtain, you should consider enrolling on an apprenticeship. There are no age restrictions, plus the cost of the training and end assessment will be funded via your employer. You don’t have to start at the beginning as prior knowledge and qualifications can be recognised to reduce the typical 4-year duration.
