• High salary for apprenticeship (starting at 32k, increasing by 2k every year). • Great place to learn. • Many resources available to help you in various areas.

Degree is useless - don't expect to be taught much programming or computer science skills.

Very team-dependent. I've known some managers who didn't even know what an apprentice is until the employee joined. They were then fired after 6 months after receiving little support. However, my current manager has given me more than enough support.

As such, a higher level of baseline knowledge is helpful here; you might struggle if you are inexperienced at coding.

Use a different degree provider. QA are a waste of time and money.

Inform managers more on the needs of apprentices. Some are understanding; others are clueless and assume apprentices should be able to work full time from day one.
