What is an Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a structured training program that combines on-the-job training with academic learning. It’s a way to earn while you learn, gaining practical skills in your chosen field alongside theoretical knowledge. Apprenticeships at Eden Training Solutions are tailored to meet the needs of the early years education sector, ensuring learners are well-prepared for successful careers.

- Academic Study: Complement your practical skills with theoretical understanding.
- Mentorship and Support: Receive guidance and feedback from experienced professionals.
The History of Apprenticeships:
Apprenticeships have a rich and varied history, dating back several centuries. Initially, apprenticeships were informal arrangements where young people learned trades and crafts from experienced practitioners. Over time, these evolved into more structured programs, integrating both practical and theoretical learning.
- Medieval Times: Apprenticeships were predominantly in trades like blacksmithing, weaving, and carpentry.
- Industrial Revolution: Shift towards more industrial and technical skills.
- Modern Era: Emphasis on a broader range of sectors, including early years education, and blending traditional skills with new technologies.
