An apprenticeship is an “earn while you learn” pathway, combining on-the-job training with an employer and off-the-job learning in a college or training centre. Apprentices are employees from day one — meaning you are paid, insured, and gain real work experience throughout your training.
Our programmes last 3 to 4 years, leading to nationally and internationally recognised qualifications at NFQ Level 6. Learners develop practical, work-ready skills alongside structured academic knowledge.
Open to school leavers, career changers, and adults of all ages — no upper age limit. Candidates must meet specific minimum education or entry requirements depending on the chosen stream.
Both apprenticeship streams at Revive Group are registered with SOLAS, Ireland’s national further education and training authority. Learn more at apprenticeship.ie
