This is an option if you would like to continue studying beyond your T level but also want to earn money at the same time. The ideal scenario is that you find a local employer offering the apprenticeship qualification that you want to do. What you might find is an employer that is not offering the course you want, or you find the course you want to do but no employer. It may be harder than you thought, so here is a plan:

1. Step One - research which apprenticeship qualification you are interested in

2. Step Two - look at businesses currently offering apprenticeships in your local area and hope there is a match with the qualification you have chosen!

3. Step Three - if there is not a match approach your placement employer or another employer to ask if they would consider supporting you through your chosen apprenticeship

Apprenticeships can be level 3, 4 or Degree level. Ideally you would look to be progressing in your careers, so we wanted to assure you that choosing a level 3 apprenticeship in a specific area you have a passion for, is a progression. So do not think you have to choose a level 4 - Higher apprenticeship.
