CRITERIA FOR APPLYING

There are certain criteria which must be met when applying for an apprenticeship such as:
    1) A recommended hourly rate of £4.81 in the first year of working giving apprentices.
    2)  6 hours/week away from commercial activities. This is normally split as follows: 2 hour weekly training session on zoom with Skills4Pharmacy, 2 hours for assignments/shadowing/ reading SOPs etc and 2 hours to dedicate where you feel the apprentice would gain knowledge.
