What’s your plan B?

Apprenticeships are great. They provide learners with on-the-job experience, a salary and qualifications.

However, competition for them is high, you aren’t guaranteed to be placed quickly, and you may not find a suitable role.

We recommend you also apply for a college course to give yourself a second option – a plan B – which will ensure you have something in place for September. After all, an apprenticeship may not be the only path to your dream career.

Apply for a college course

Our full-time courses start in September and you are not committed to start a course even if you accept a place on it. Applying simply means that you will have more options and a back-up plan, if the apprenticeship route doesn’t work out for you. You can apply for up to four courses which gives you plenty of choice, too.

We’ve now had over 2,000 applications for September and places are filling fast. Don’t wait to find out if your apprenticeship is secure, have your plan B ready and apply for a college course today.
