Google'd "Apprentice pay in UK and have pasted this from the GOV.UK site.
"Apprentices are paid from the first day of their apprenticeship and they’re entitled to the National Minimum Wage.
The current minimum wage rate for an apprentice is £2.68 per hour. This rate applies to apprentices aged 16 to 18 and those aged 19 or over who are in their first year.
Apprentices aged 19 or over who have completed their first year must be paid at least the minimum wage rate for their age.
Apprentices can contact the Pay and Work Rights Helpline for free and confidential advice on their rights at work.

Hope this helps & good luck with career!
