Do Apprenticeships have exams?

Level 3, Level 4, Level 6 etc
In my experience, usually you will have to do some form of exam. When I did a Level 3 apprenticeship I had to sit exams for my qualification, and then a final exam for my EPA (End Point Assessment).
Yes! You will have exams during your apprenticeship. Now what type/form is up to the training provider! Your exam may be written, online, MCQ etc. It's important to research (ie asking current apprentices that work at that company, asking the training provider, or asking HR) how you will be assessed throughout your apprenticeship.

Level 3 is equivalent to A-Levels, and then Level 4 and above is equivalent to degree level (I think Level 4 is the same as foundation degree level and then Level 7 is the equivalent of a Masters degree).

Definitely a good path to go down in my opinion. It’s enabled me to get a good head start in my career with no academic debt.
