Apprenticeships

Almost all personnel entering the Naval Service, including Royal Marines, are automatically entered on to an Apprenticeship scheme which results in them leaving basic training with at least a Level 2 Apprenticeship qualification. (personnel entering with a Degree will not automatically be entered but may opt to join a scheme).

The Royal Navy is a highly technical organisation and, just as in the civilian world, we need you to learn about designing, building and maintaining complex machinery, for the RN these are warships, aircraft and submarines. The Royal Navy offers Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies Apprenticeships across all Engineering Branches for Air Engineering Technicians, Weapon Engineering Technicians, Marine Engineering Technicians, Aircraft Controller and Aircraft handlers. A modern warship relies heavily on computer systems and needs to be able to communicate across the world. We need IT trained personnel who understand how to operate and keep these systems operating. Information and Communication Technology Apprenticeships are available for Communication and Information Systems Specialists, and Communications Technicians A warship is wholly self-contained when deployed at sea

and this requires the crew to be supplied, fed and catered for, across a number of hospitality areas, sometimes in a challenging and different environment. Retail and Commercial Enterprise Apprenticeships are available for Stewards, Chefs and Supply Chain Logisticians Teamwork and fitness are key to ensuring a military unit is effective, and the skills you develop during training will equip you to work well in any environment. Public Service Apprenticeships are available for Royal Marines, Warfare Specialists, and Seaman Specialists As in all large businesses, the Royal Navy requires trained administrators and managers to keep the very complex organization running smoothly. This includes budgetary and resource management when you could be anywhere in the world. Business, Administration and Law Apprenticeships are available for Personnel Logisticians. In order to be an effective fighting force we need to ensure our people are healthy and cared for. You could be caring for wounded crewmates in Afghanistan or maintaining the health of a crew deployed at sea away from normal support. Health and Social Care Apprenticeships are available for Medical assistants
