What do you need to know about Apprenticeships?
The qualifications you'll pursue during your apprenticeship are fully funded by us, thanks to our contributions to the apprenticeship levy. This means you can obtain a valuable qualification without the burden of student fees or debt. In practical terms, your workweek will consist of dedicating 20% of your time to studying for your qualification, with the remaining hours devoted to putting your newfound knowledge into action on the job.
You'll have full support from your teams and a dedicated learning coach to ensure your success. Once you have successfully completed the apprenticeship and have your qualification we will continue to support your career journey with Vodafone UK.
Level 3 Apprenticeship
Level 3 is equivalent to an A-level qualification, with a typical duration ranging from 12 to 18 months, depending on the specific programme.
Level 4 Apprenticeship
Level 4 is equivalent to a Foundation Degree, typically spanning 18 to 24 months, depending on the programme.
Level 6 Apprenticeship
Level 6 is equivalent to an Integrated Degree, with a typical duration ranging from 33 to 48 months, depending on the programme.
