Architecture apprenticeships are a new route into the profession. Having gained traction since their inception in 2018, it is an attractive route for young generations of architects to obtain their professional qualifications and earn while they learn. Aimed at prospective and current Level 7: Architect Apprentices, this guide provides the knowledge to achieve the most from your apprenticeship education, empowering your exposure in the profession within academic and professional areas. Taking you on a journey through the apprenticeship, it presents key stages of the course through precedents and will let you know what to expect from this educational route, and when to expect it. Using case studies from recent graduates and current apprentices who have excelled through this route, it features information from employers and academics involved in architecture apprenticeship courses in the UK to provide tips, advice and guidance. Designed to be interactive, you will be able to populate and annotate the book at various stages to map the key stages of your journey and reflect on your professional development.
