Apprentices from the College of West Anglia (CWA) have been awarded prizes for outstanding achievement in the last academic year as part of CWA’s annual Apprenticeship Awards.

The awards coincide with National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) 2021, taking place from 8^th until 14^th February 2021. NAW is an annual nationwide celebration of apprenticeships and will bring the whole apprenticeship community together to highlight the impact of apprenticeships on individuals, employers and the economy.

The awards recognise individual achievement, skill and study in a variety of different fields, from engineering and hairdressing to horticulture and veterinary nursing.

Although you have to stay in education or training until you are 18, there are many options for your next step. Getting the right qualifications could make all the difference and will have a big influence on how successful you are in your future career. 

The College of West Anglia guarantees you a place on an appropriate course in September 2021 and applies to students:

• who have already applied but not yet had an interview
• who have yet to make an application

All existing entry requirements apply and are dependant on applicants achieving the minimum GCSE grades for that level course. However, CWA has many different level courses to suit different abilities and so it may just mean starting your course at a lower level.
