Higher apprenticeships (Level 4)
A higher apprenticeship takes you past A-Level standard into professional-level work, while staying employed and paid. Level 4 is the entry point into higher-level technical and professional careers.
What you get
- Equivalent to the first year of a degree (Certificate of Higher Education)
- No tuition fees and no student loan
- Often carries professional body recognition
- A stepping stone to Levels 5, 6 and 7
Who it's for
People with A-Levels, a T-Level or a Level 3 apprenticeship who want professional qualifications without full-time study.
Common questions
What's the difference between higher and degree apprenticeships?
Higher apprenticeships run from Level 4 upwards. Once you reach Level 6 you're earning a full bachelor's degree, which is what people usually mean by a degree apprenticeship.
Do I pay tuition fees?
No. Your employer and the government cover the training costs, so you finish without student debt.
