Myth Busters
What qualifications will I get?

Apprenticeships are a great alternative to traditional educational routes. Across each industry the government is working to replace traditional NVQs with ‘Apprenticeship Standards’ that consist of the essential skills, knowledge and behaviours that an individual requires to succeed in this industry. The key difference is that there is now an End Point Assessment, conducted by an Independent Assessor, at the end of the apprenticeship. This ensures all the learning has been completed effectively and an apprentice can gain a pass, merit or a distinction.

Each level of an apprenticeship maps to a different educational level:

  • Level 2 is the equivalent to two x GCSEs
  • Level 3 is equivalent to two x A levels
  • Level 4 is equivalent to Higher Education Diploma
  • Level 5 is equivalent to a Foundation Degree
  • Level 6 is equivalent to a Bachelor’s Degree
Aren’t apprentices paid less?

Not at Pret. We pay all our Team Members the same regardless of whether they are on an Apprenticeship or not. www.google.com

If I sign up to a Pret Apprenticeship can I progress in the company?

Absolutely yes. At Pret we pride ourselves on the fact that 96% of our current managers all started out as Team Members and worked their way up through the company.
