Apprenticeships in Retail

This year we will offer 450 of our people the chance to train for an apprenticeship.

Our Retail Apprenticeship is a chance for Tesco staff to gain a nationally recognised qualification awarded by City & Guilds - it starts every September in selected stores and lasts 12 months.

What you'll learn

The apprenticeship is made up of three parts:

Key skills - standard qualifications that help develop essential skills for success in education, employment and everyday life.

National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) - a NVQ in Retail Level 2 is delivered on the shop floor by Tesco managers, which consolidates the practical skills and knowledge of retail that you will learn as you work for us.

Technical Certificate - it's a multiple-choice test that you'll take under exam conditions. It tests the theoretical understanding of the retail business that you will have gained and trained for in the NVQ course.
