What is an Apprenticeship?

The standard NHS full-time contract is 37.5 hours. As an Apprentice, you're expected to work a minimum of 30 hours to undertake the qualification full-time. Part-time workers aren't excluded, but must extend the length of time that they study for, to allow all of the learning hours to be included.
