Common questions
How many apprenticeships are there in Dorset?
It changes weekly — employers advertise year-round rather than in one annual intake. This page counts every live opportunity located in Dorset and updates as roles are added and filled.
Which towns in Dorset have the most apprenticeships?
Roles cluster around the county's larger towns, and the town list on this page shows live counts for each. Every advert also shows its exact location, so you can judge the commute before you apply.
Will I be paid?
Yes. Apprentices are employees and must be paid at least the apprentice National Minimum Wage — many employers pay considerably more. You also get holiday, sick pay and a contract like any other employee.
Do I need qualifications to start?
Often none at all for an intermediate apprenticeship. Some employers ask for GCSEs in English and maths, and many will let you work towards those alongside the job if you don't have them yet.
Is it free to apply through GetMyFirstJob?
Yes — always free for candidates. You apply directly to the employer or their training provider, and there are no agency fees at any point.
