    Do you put 'apprenticeship' on your CV
    If you have done an apprenticeship, how (do you have to) do you put this on your cv?

    At the moment I've got the job title in my employment history - i.e. Customer Services Assistant and the NVQ Level 3 in Customer Service down with the qualifications - is this OK, even though I haven't put down the word 'Apprentice' or 'Apprenticeship' anywhere?

    It depends whether you think it will matter to the reader/employer that it was an apprenticeship specifically, or if they just want to know about your experience and qualifications. Which would be better to show? It might well change from job to job.

    Same as above. However also consider that when asked for reference your employer may well refer to it as an apprenticeship.
