Completing your apprenticeship usually takes 12-18 months but it will depend on the job you are doing, and it’s just the start of your journey. Show potential and work hard, and in return you’ll have all the support you need to progress quickly.
A future in the Royal Navy can be whatever you want it to be. Tailor your career by choosing a profession that interests you. We offer more than 20 apprenticeships across careers with a competitive salary, world travel, and supportive mentorship.
Whether you’re a school leaver, have existing qualifications, or want to re-train, there’s a place for you. There are two main schemes available: Rating (Intermediate Apprenticeships) and Accelerated Apprenticeships (Engineering).
Join as a rating and you’re automatically enrolled in an Intermediate Apprenticeship. That means you’ll learn on the job and earn a wage, at the same time as studying for your qualification. You’ll be part of the Royal Navy’s main workforce, the foundation of our operations.
Later in your career, you’ll be able to gain other civilian-recognised qualifications. This could include an Advanced or Higher Apprenticeship. And as you learn your trade, you’ll progress through the ranks on merit. You could even be selected for officer training.
Regardless of the route you choose, you’ll need the right attitude, a passion for travel, and a real sense of adventure – we’ll help you with the rest.
There are several different apprenticeships available, so it’s easy to find the profession that suits you – whether you’re a school leaver, have further qualifications, or are planning to go to university.
