Figures are the apprenticeships listed on inkscroll, not the whole UK market. Pay is compared with the statutory rates from 1 Apr 2026 and the Real Living Wage from 15 Oct 2025, using the hours each listing states; listings with no pay or no hours are shown as not stated.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Apprenticeships in England come from Find an apprenticeship (GOV.UK).

This report is produced automatically from the job listings we import and is for general information only. inkscroll does not check every listing and cannot guarantee that the figures are complete, accurate or up to date. Levels, pay, hours and locations are read from the wording of each listing and may be missing or wrong for some vacancies. Pay comparisons use the listed figures and stated hours and are not legal advice. Always check the listing and the employer before relying on anything here. If you spot an error, let us know.
