What’s the difference between an entry level job in Hair & Beauty and an apprenticeship?

The main difference between an entry level job and an apprenticeship is that apprenticeships require classroom-based learning alongside working. This makes them great for people who value qualifications and want to continue studying as they work. However, entry level jobs focus solely on working so may be better suited to those who will struggle to balance studying and working.

Apprenticeships also have a fixed duration of how long the programme lasts, with a certification at the end, whereas entry level jobs don’t. Qualifications aren’t necessary for future careers in this sector but may be beneficial in helping you develop ur skills quicker.
