Health care apprentice information

The Health Care Apprenticeship Programme is an exciting opportunity that will enable you to train to become a fully registered nurse through work-based learning.

You will complete a Agored Clinical Healthcare support (level 2), progress to an Apprenticeship in Clinical Health Care Support (level 3), before embarking on part-time university education, starting at level 4.

When you have finished the programme, you will be a qualified registered nurse and will not have had to pay any university fees. You will be earning whilst you are learning the whole time. 

Within the first two years, you will be working alongside registered nurses and other health care professionals. This will give you an insight into care whilst working with a mentor within patient areas, preparing to deliver care to patients. You will also have the chance to work with other areas to help you get a good understanding of a range of job roles that work alongside nursing teams.

Please note, when you have become a registered nurse; you will be expected to remain employed with the Health Board for a minimum of two years.
