Progression and development
An Early Learning and Childcare Graduate Apprentice could gain employment in the following area:

How much will it cost?
As Graduate Apprentices are your employees, you will pay their salary. This is not set by SDS but we do encourage all employees to pay the living wage.
For Graduate Apprentices starting in 2018 and 2019, we will fund their learning costs for the duration of the course.
Time to complete
A GA at SCQF level 10 (honours degree level) will take up to four years to complete. A GA at SCQF level 8 or 9 (high apprenticeship) and SCQF level 11 (professional body qualification) will take up to two years to complete.
Some individuals may complete the GA in a shorter period of time because the format means they can attend university or college outwith traditional term times.
