Equip yourself with relevant skills to begin an apprenticeship in a range of areas. Employers are seeking apprentices who have basic qualifications in Maths, Computers and Communication skills to add to their chosen trade. There is a massive increase in the number of apprenticeships available at the moment, so make sure you are ready to take that step by embarking on a pre-apprenticeship course.
Graduates may progress to apprenticeship programmes in various disciplines including:
Electrician | Engineering | Plumbing | Motor Mechanics | Wood Manufacturing & Finishing | Metal Fabrication | Carpentry | Joinery | Pipe Fitting | Tool Making | Computing
By 2025 Ireland hope to support 50k apprentices/ trainee

I chose to do this course so I wanted to know more about apprenticeships and the subject areas before I committed to an Electrical Apprenticeship. I found the course interesting and have covered related areas such as CCTV installation, Electrical Testing and Car Electrics. Next year I plan to progress to an Electrical Apprenticeship as I now know this is the area I am interested in.
