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

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 2

Rolls-Royce is stuck in the past.

a

Can you blame us? Those engines we first knocked out in the 1920s were epic

b

Wrong. We focus on electrification, which is so futuristic even Harry Potter would believe it was magic

c

We’re building time machines, so yes and no…

Question 3

Rolls-Royce makes luxury cars, don’t they?

a

Yeah, the finest cars you’ve ever seen, we all get one as a company car

b

No, we’re one of the best technology companies on the planet. We make world-class aero-engines, hybrid trains, ships, nuclear power, micro grids and more

c

Yes, and we also helped to design Nike Air Force 1s (they’re more complicated to make than you would think)

Question 4

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 5

Apprenticeships are for people who don’t do well at school.

a

No, you have to have really good GCSE results to do an apprenticeship

b

Yeah, it’s an easy option if you fail your exams. You don’t even have to interview

c

Actually, we accept students of all abilities, including grade A students

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

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 8

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
