Entry on to the Baker apprenticeship pathway

Examples include:

• Academic routes (e.g. GCSEs, Welsh Baccalaureate)
• By completing vocational qualifications
• Participation on employer placement

Progression opportunities into the Apprenticeship also exist for those who have experience in the sector or those looking for a career change.
