Information is helpful. Clarity is better.

Many young people understand what apprenticeship degrees are —
but still struggle to decide whether the route fits them.

Common thoughts include:

  • “I like the idea, but I’m not sure.”

  • “I don’t want to make the wrong choice.”

  • “I feel rushed to decide.”

This toolkit exists to slow the process down and help you make a decision you can stand behind.





This is a thinking tool — not a test

The toolkit helps you reflect on:

  • how you learn best

  • how you feel about structure and routine

  • what earning while studying would mean for you

  • how money and debt factor into your thinking

  • what matters most to you right now

There are no right or wrong answers.
Only clearer ones.





Inside the decision toolkit

You’ll find:

  • guided reflection questions

  • short, practical exercises

  • prompts around learning style and work expectations

  • simple money-thinking exercises

  • a decision summary page you can return to later

It’s designed to be used, not skimmed.

You can:

  • complete it in one sitting

  • or come back to it over time

Both approaches are valid.





This toolkit is useful if you’re:

  • aged 16–25

  • considering an apprenticeship degree

  • unsure whether the route fits you personally

  • trying to balance study, work, and money decisions

  • wanting to avoid rushed or pressured choices

It can also be useful if you’re:

  • a parent or carer supporting a young person

  • helping someone think through their options calmly







This toolkit is not for:

  • people looking for guarantees

  • people wanting someone else to decide for them

  • people ready to apply immediately

Its purpose is decision-making, not speed.





If the free guide helped you understand:

“What is an apprenticeship degree?”

This toolkit helps you answer:

“Is this right for me?”

They are designed to work together — but you don’t have to use both.





What to expect

  • Clear, plain language

  • No academic jargon

  • No pressure to reach a conclusion

  • Designed for honest reflection

You can stop at any point.
Nothing is tracked or assessed.
