Please note: Due to recent changes to the apprenticeship levy system in England, the Level 7 Archivist and Records Manager apprenticeships have been discontinued. There are currently no plans for future cohorts but current apprentices will complete their course and will become qualified archivists as planned.
The Level 7 Archivist and Records Manager apprenticeship is a technical training route into the archives sector in England and is equivalent to the Master’s degree typically required to become a qualified archivist. Each apprenticeship lasts 3 years (36 months) followed by a six-month end-point assessment period. The Level 7 Archivist and Records Manager apprenticeships have enabled more people to start a career in archives by reducing the financial and academic barriers to becoming an archivist.
