Architectural Apprenticeship is a programme officially approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships which combines working with learning and leads to gaining academic qualifications.
The Architect Apprenticeship Level 7 is a four-year programme that incorporates the ARB/RIBA Part 2 and Part 3 qualifications with a partner university. An apprentice will spend 20% of the contracted time in the academic training and 80% of the time will be utilised to learn through practice.
