The Apprenticeship Programme is a training and education programme for apprentices employed in a specified trade. Persons who wish to undertake an apprenticeship must be registered with, and employed on a full-time basis by a FÁS-approved employer. The employer will provide the apprentice with a range of work, access to the necessary tools and equipment and the on-the-job training and assessments specified for the trade.
