Are apprenticeships easy to get on to?

[Hubu]

I'm currently studying and working part time (as a cleaner) and failing at both. I want to give up the degree and do an apprenticeship where I can learn and study at the same time.

I'm sick of having nothing left over at the end of the month to save.

I want to go in to data and know about python 2&3. Ok with excel, no idea about SQL.

How can I get on to an apprenticeship. I'll consider others like admin or accountancy.

Are you talking about a degree apprenticeship?
They can be very competitive. You need to look on the government's apprenticeship website to see which are available and where.

Yes a higher/degree apprenticeship

Just want to know if it's worth giving up the psychology degree for one?

I am doing a work based apprenticeship through my current comany. It wasn't easy to get, I had to jump through a few hoops with them. (As in on paper they offer but in reality it's not something they want to pay out for. )
Than I had to do a selection of "functional skills tests" they took me about 1 1/2 working days to complete... because as soon as I passed one section an other one popped up! Now I have to go to lessons once a month and there are several online course modules to complete in between.
I think there is a difference between applying for an apprenticeship and doing one through your existing workplace.

The program i am on seems very thorough, but I also know some are less than favorable.

Maybe find a job first and see if you can get an apprenticeship that way.

Degree apprenticeship are hard to get into but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. Have I understood correctly - you want to work in computer data and are doing a degree in psychology? I think you need to be looking at computer science or programming.

You need to find an employer first. It's not like applying for a regular degree.

You need to find a course you are interested in and have relevant experience. No point applying for something you are not interested in.

You apply for them the same way as applying for a job. You apply individually to each company.

Are any of these any good?

Well there are some level 4 apprenticeships advertised. That's how I know about them

Level 4 is equal to a foundation degree. Is there scope for progressing beyond level 4?

The Statistics apprenticeships look a little more appealing and relevant to what I know.

Some are asking for level 5 Eng and Maths GCSE. Are they looking for school leavers only?
