I was researching this morning about apprenticeships, and they look really interesting. The problem is, if I apply for an apprenticeship I wont be able to study at sixth form. So I'm stuck on choice, do I apply for apprenticeships or go to sixth form?
Has anyone had apprenticeships? Are they any good?
I looked in to getting an apprenticeship but the one I was looking in to you had to already have had a job working in that subject area but you do get paid and stuff so I guess it's worth it, it might be different depending on the apprenticeship you want to do though :)
I did an Apprenticeship when i was 18, for A levels. Was brilliant !
i looked into them when i came back from uni last year but they wouldn't have me because i'm overqualified. ha.
wow you can be overqualified for apprenticeships? lmaooQuote:

If you can get somewhere decent to take you on then its great.
Worst part of apprenticeships is the money you get as its only around £100 / week for full time working hours.
the level of qualification they offered alongside the work program was level 2 and i already have a level 3 qualifications :(Quote:

ah i'm surprised they let you do it tbh, i was told i'd have trouble getting an apprenticeship having a level3.Quote:
