Benefits of becoming an Apprentice
If you’re leaving school or ready for a new challenge, an apprenticeship is a great way to kick start or enhance your career.
As an Apprentice in insurance or personal finance, you will earn while you learn and gain real life skills and experience highly sought after by employers.
In an Apprenticeship, you’ll work in a company as an employee, earning a wage and working alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. You’ll receive training and work towards internationally recognised qualifications.
- Get a head-start. The best way to get started in an industry is to be put into a role that you learn from.
- Earn while you learn. You are paid a wage and this increases as your experience grows.
- Accredited CII Qualification. At the end of your apprenticeship, you can gain an accredited CII qualification.
- Avoid Debt. Unlike university, apprenticeships don’t require you to enter a debt so they are an excellent alternative to starting your career
- Support. You are given the support you need from the teams and trainers around you to get through the apprenticeship, and will be part of the CII Aspire apprentice community.
