FAA-Candidate is the web front-end used to search and apply for Apprenticeships and Traineeships in England. Users of the service can register to receive search alerts, status updates and reminders.

This repository contains the code for the service which is hosted on gov.uk and is operated by the Skills Funding Agency.

The code follows a clean code architecture so the code is organised into Domain, Application and Infrastructure service projects.
