    From intimate gigs to arenas, Edinburgh is renowned for its live music scene. If you're looking for a night out in Edinburgh with some good tunes, we suggest checking out one of the following establishments: 

    • Henry's Cellar Bar, aka the most beautiful dive bar in the world, for live music, comedy, spoken word gigs and alternative club nights
    • Located at 207 Cowgate, Stramash (the name means making a racket), for live music in a renovated church
    • Whistle Binkies, located in the ancient vaults under Edinburgh's South Bridge, hosts performances until 3 am, every night of the week

    How much of my time will the program take each week?

    Apprenticeship training should be delivered during the apprentices’ working hours. All apprentices must be allocated 20% of their paid working hours for “off-the-job training”.That can be spread in any way across your working week and does not need to be taken as a solid chunk. It will likely vary week to week according to the specific course you are on and what is being delivered and its method of delivery each week. 

    Please see the “Delivery method” section of each cohort to get a better idea of how much

    What if I decide to leave halfway through the program?

    Our recruitment process will be focused on ensuring that we get people who are truly committed to their course. 

    In the first instance, we will do everything we can to support the apprentice to remain on the program.

    In exceptional circumstances, such as long-term illness or in some cases personal challenges, we can apply a ‘break in learning’ to allow the apprentice some time away from their learning.
