Knowledge is power. That’s why we’ve created this quiz to bust some myths about apprenticeships – and about what we do at Rolls-Royce. If you’re making a decision about your future today, make sure you’ve got your facts straight.

If you answer all the questions correctly faster than anybody else, you could win a trip for you and your school friends to one of our apprentice workshops, where you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at our huge, high-tech machines in action. Meet our experts and learn all about us on a tour of our Heritage Centre, too.

Question 1

Rolls-Royce is a strictly UK-only brand.

a

Yep, home sweet home, based in Derby, with offices across the UK

b

No, we’re cultured, we’ve got offices across Europe too

c

We’re in 50 countries with customers in 150 countries, so I think you’ll find we’re ‘global’

Question 2

Rolls-Royce is an engineering firm, right?

a

Of course – but we’re more than that, we make tech that keeps the planet running too

b

Yes, we are engineers and engineers only (we like labels)

c

No, we make fat fryers and toasty makers

Question 3

Apprenticeships are just for plumbers.

a

Which is why our pipes are never blocked

b

No, at Rolls-Royce we make futuristic tech (and even robots) that change the world

c

Actually, you can do carpentry apprenticeships as well…

Question 4

University degrees are better than apprenticeships, right?

a

Absolutely not. Post A-level apprentices can get a good university degree, and earn money instead of getting into debt

b

I don’t care, I want to run away to Love Island and become a famous reality star

c

Yep, apprenticeship qualifications aren’t recognised by employers

Question 5

Nothing in life is ever free – least of all apprenticeships.

a

Of course you have to pay to do an apprenticeship, but that’s the price of getting qualifications

b

Yeah but we offer grants to help you pay for it (you’ll have to pay us back though)

c

Actually, not only are they free – apprentices earn money as they work and study

Question 6

Apprenticeships don’t lead to full-time jobs.

a

Unless you’re in the lucky 30% who get a job straight away

b

They definitely do. More than 90% stay on when their course ends

c

There are normally nil, zero, zilch full-time jobs once the course is finished

Question 7

Apprentices don’t really make any money at all, right?

a

Actually, they earn while they study and get into no debt whatsoever

b

They have to work for free so don’t make any money at all

c

They earn barely anything and they still have to pay for their apprenticeship (somehow)

Question 8

Apprentices can’t become CEOs.

a

What are you on about? 1 in 5 companies have an apprentice at board level

b

Actually 51% of companies said apprentices reached senior management in 5 years or less

c

Umm both of the above, thank you very much
