    Amazing video, great quality content and well edited. You gave a great insight into the Apprenticeship programme and a clear analysis on the application process. Your very motivational, inspiring and beautiful. You deserve 847,000 subscribers not just 847 subscribers. I've been applying for Apprenticeship programmes since September 2020 and had various Interviews and assessments. I've honestly applied to loads ranging from Civil service Apprenticeships to ones with HSBC. I've been offered a Nursing Degree Apprenticeship programme with the NHS and I'm really looking forward to that. I'm also very grateful for this opportunity. I applied for Visa's Chartered Management Degree Apprenticeship and guess what? I didn't get the offer because of 1 question! Literally 1 question! The corporate world is brutal 😢

There also maintaining that great community virtually whilst we’re all in lockdown, so a similar experience to university societies.

I really can't find any I've looked everywhere :(

    • @mollyjohnstone2867
      @mollyjohnstone2867  4 года назад +1

      This sounds like a tough situation! But it’s never too late, so don’t think you have to rush now, whilst doing your Alevels, to get where you want to be in the future. I’d recommend just trying your best at your a levels because good results will show that you can work hard. And it might be best to get work experience in construction management at a company which may better your chances for an apprenticeship or you might find it easier to go straight into a job? If you need a qualification for construction management I’m sure there are courses you can take after you’ve completed your a levels. I know it’s easier said than done but there’s not timeline of when you have to do things, so I’d try not to stress too much about it! Hope this helps :)

      Yaminah A Hey! Although they’re equivalent to A levels it doesn’t restrict me from doing Level 3. I guess why I was happy with doing a Level 3 apprenticeship was because it was specialised in digital marketing, something I’d never learnt about during my A Levels. There’s people on my course that have a degree and are still doing level 3!

      Madhu Desai I’m not too sure! I think you have to have a right to work in the UK

      You can also apply if you have a student visa that allows you to work in the place you’re in .

    Do they ask your your GCSE results certificate as proof? Or do they just ask you and take your word for it??

      You usually have to prove your grades to work for a decent company.

      Amina Masrour it’s good, enough for me to pay rent and live comfortably in London, so far anyway!

      Can you go up from level 3 to like level 6/7 (degree apprenticeship) if you continue with them and also how are you finding it so far ?

    • @mollyjohnstone2867
      @mollyjohnstone2867  4 года назад +3

      Amina Masrour you can continue to do higher level apprenticeships after you get a level 3 qualification, but unfortunately the highest level for digital marketing is 3 right now, but I think they’re working on degree apprenticeships for offer in the future. I’m loving it so far, best decision I ever made! I’ve got an updated video coming hopefully tomorrow about my first few days.

      Raed Radha yes that’s where I found it, but I’m doing the qualification through an education company called WhiteHat

    • @mollyjohnstone2867

      Raed Radha it all happens together, so as long as you apply for an apprenticeship, they should have an idea and explain how the work and education works together!
