Level 4 and Level 5 (Higher)

Today, over 450 people are building their careers at AWE through apprenticeships.

Not sure what comes next after your A-levels? Whether you’re ready to dive into the world of work or still exploring your options, there’s a path that lets you earn, learn, and grow – all at once.

Our Level 4 and Level 5 apprenticeships offer a powerful alternative to university.

Level 4 is on par with the first year of a degree or a Higher National Certificate (HNC).

Level 5 matches a foundation degree or Higher National Diploma (HND).

These programmes are designed for people who want hands-on experience, real-world skills and a clear route to career progression without the full-time university commitment.
