The holiday allowance is excellent right from year 1. You have 28 days per year of holiday (rising to 32 after 5 years’ service), and as we close the College for up to 5 days over Christmas, this means up to an additional 5 days of leave. With the 8 days of public/bank holidays on top of this, you could benefit from 41 days of annual leave as an Apprentice. This is work-life balance
