APPRENTICESHIP FAQS


What is an apprenticeship?

Apprenticeships are work-based training programmes that are designed to help employers train people for specific job roles. At the same time, apprentices get a paid job with valuable training while they work towards a nationally recognised apprenticeship standard or framework (devolved nations). 

As an apprentice, you’ll be served up a salary, alongside expert training from those who know the industry inside out. You’ll be working towards a nationally recognised qualification, whether it’s an apprenticeship standard or framework (depending on where you’re based), to prove you're on the up in your field. 

An apprenticeship is like the perfect recipe for building the foundations for your career – a mix of hands-on experience and structured learning! It’s a work-based training programme that helps you gain the skills and knowledge needed for a specific job role, all while earning a wage. 

Whether you're pouring your passion into a hospitality career or cooking up new skills, an apprenticeship with us gives you the perfect blend of experience and qualifications, setting you up for a well-balanced future in the industry. Cheers to that!

Who can apply for an apprenticeship?

Anyone with a hunger for learning and a passion for earning! Whether you’re 16 or 60, apprenticeships are open to all across the UK. Whether you're already on the clock, looking for a career change, or just leaving school, there’s an apprenticeship that’s perfect for you. There's no upper age limit – so no matter where you are in your career journey, it’s never too late to join the table! 

You don’t need any formal qualifications to get started – just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Some employers may ask for GCSEs (level 4+) in subjects like English, maths, and science, but that’s just to set the table for success. Whether you're mixing up your career or serving up a new path, there’s always room for you to join the apprenticeship team at Greene King.

What are the entry requirements for an apprenticeship?

There aren’t any! We’re more interested in your personality and passion than your qualifications. If you’ve got the drive and enthusiasm to get stuck in and learn, then you’re already on the right track. 

If you don’t have GCSEs in Maths and English, don’t worry – we can help you work towards Functional Skills to get you up to speed. We believe everyone has the potential to serve up a successful career, and we’re here to help you cook up the skills you need to shine in the hospitality industry. 

So, if you’ve got the recipe for hard work and a love for hospitality, you’re ready to start your apprenticeship with us! Let’s get your career brewing.

What qualification will I gain on an apprenticeship?

During your apprenticeship, you'll work towards a nationally recognised apprenticeship standard or framework (depending on where you are in the UK), all served up with the backing of industry-regulated bodies. This qualification will give your career the perfect garnish for success and set you on the path to bigger and better opportunities. 

Depending on the programme you choose, you may also have the chance to level up with additional qualifications, like Functional Skills in Maths and English – ensuring you’re well-prepared for any challenge that comes your way. 

In short, you’ll gain qualifications that are perfectly brewed to help you take your career to the next level, all while working in a real-world environment that lets you shake up your skills! Cheers to that!

Will I get paid during my apprenticeship?

Absolutely! You’ll earn a decent tip in the form of a wage while learning. Apprenticeships are paid jobs, so you can get your foot in the door, learn the ropes, and still bring in some cash. Plus, you’ll be gaining all the knowledge you need to take your career to the next level – it's a win-win!

What support will I get during my apprenticeship?

We’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure you succeed. Think of us as your sous-chef – we’ll guide you through the process, provide ongoing support, and help you spice up your skills. You'll also have access to dedicated training, regular check-ins, and a team that's always ready to lend a hand whenever you need it.
