Level 2 apprenticeship standards are the first level of the apprenticeship standards. Level 2 apprentices work full time with an employer and spend time studying towards the standard with the College. Level 2 apprenticeships are designed to train a school leaver for work. There is a focus on imparting key employability skills, as well as more specific training for a job within a company.

In this apprenticeship you will work and interact directly with children on a day to day basis supporting the planning of and delivery of activities.
