DSchooling is always taught formally by trained teachers,
whereas apprenticeship can be taught informally by knowledgeable experts.
Students normally have a choice whether to learn through
schools wherein they can be offered hands-on learning with their coursework or
to have an apprenticeship wherein they will be exposed to a higher level of
practical learning. Schools are more formal in a sense that it follows a
specific course outline and the students may only have few opportunities to
practice their skills in the field. However, with apprenticeship students are
taught informally and they will have a thorough understanding of what the job
entails as they will be fully immersed on the job every day.
