Run by 2 degree apprentices, speaking about all things apprenticeships - kind of. You’ll get some content about university and A levels too, but not too much. Promise.
We want to bring transparency to apprenticeships, especially to ones in the legal profession because there is not a lot of information out there! If there are, there aren't many that look like us, give an all rounded view of apprenticeships compared to different routes, or share their journey along the way. Even if you're not into apprenticeships, we hope that there's something here for your viewing pleasure.

Watched the whole episode and gained so much value, thank you for this!
We're so glad you're enjoying it ☺
Very Informative 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thank you Christian ☺
Loved this and the longer video! So glad to see two black women in this space giving their experience as it is a lot more relatable. Keep up the great work❤
Thanks Mariah! We love the support you show and thank you for your comment ❤
Love the video and your style! I especially enjoy how you implement the Lord into your life! It’s so important and can easy be neglected during a busy period in your life! God bless you ❤
That's very kind! Maintaining a relationship with God is so so important!! God bless you also.
Congratulations on finishing your exams🎉 sending love ❤️
Thank you so much!!☺️
What are some networking events you would suggest?
@@pwincezzetz hello! It depends on what industry you’re in but generally I tend to just go on Eventbrite and search for apprenticeship events on there or I would go on LinkedIn and check out the apprenticeship events held by well-known apprenticeship organisations.
I really appreciate your updates on this journey 💖
That’s very kind❤ thank you !
SAY IT AGAIN 👏🏾 This should be workplace training fr
Agreed!
I don't think you are appreciated enough. Your advice is so valuable.
You’re too kind ❤️❤️
If I could subscribe twice, I would.

I'm trying to apply for apprentices and this is the one aspect that really gets me nervous since I've never really had any practice with interviews, what the best way you think to practice them and should how you act in a real life interview correlate to how you would act in a online interview. Your videos are also very helpful
Practice with someone who has a job already and give them the job description, then practice with your careers advisor - hope you find this helpful 🫶🏽
if you start your degree apprenticeship and you don't like the environment around you should you leave or stick it out
It depends on what you don’t like about the work place, what you’re will to deal with, how long you’re willing to deal with it and whether the problem can be fixed with someone else’s help. There’s a lot more factors involved but leaving an apprenticeship, irrespective of the level, is a difficult decision to make. Not to be taken lightly.
How many times in a week do you work from home?
1 a week and the other day is a uni day which I always do from home. Hope that helps!
Is there a way to apply to one last minute like on results day
It is possible, if the company has their applications open at that time. You'd need to search them out! There are some companies that have their application open then, but it varies depending on the industry and level of apprenticeship.
@@apprenticeish is it likely for a solicitor degree apprenticeship?
You'd have to have to do your own research at the time, as it's very firm/company specific. Most of them are closed by them and open up again from October. Not all of them are like that though!
@@apprenticeish in one of your videos you said you dropped out 3 months into your course did you wait for the next application cycle to do the apprenticeship ? Or did you start straight after?
I love the honesty in this video ❤ it’s not spoken about enough
as a black girl in yr 10 who may later consider a degree apprenticeship, this was very interesting.
I’m glad to hear that! Hopefully the conversation will continue ❤️
very necessary conversations that aren’t spoken about enough, thank you!🙏🏾
More to come 👀😊
Hey! I am very keen on doing a solicitor apperentership, but I am not sure if I want to sit the sqe and actually become a solicitor, so I was wondering if I could just get a law degree through the apperentership? (Love you videos/energy btw)
Hey! The intention is to start to finish. There’s some providers who have the course up in such a way that if you don’t finish the SQE, you don’t finish your degree apprenticeship. So you’d have finish the whole program. Hope that helps!
Thanks dear,pls i want to know if it is compulsory to be employed before you can get a place in apprentiship?
Hello! It’s not compulsory.
what grades did you get in alevels and does what you do affect it as im doing btec business which is worth 3 alevels
Hello! My Alevel grades were BBC and I think it depends on where you apply. Some place ask for 3 a levels and other places ask for 3 a levels or equivalent. If you’re unsure, I’d contact the company’s recruitment team/HR team, their email is usually somewhere on the website.
Did you have any difficulties in telling your family that you wanted to do a degree apprenticeship rather than just going to uni? If so, what advice do u have for someone who is in that predicament?
I had no issues telling my family, they were very supportive. I definitely research HARD so I could answer every question, if I felt like they needed a PowerPoint presentation- I would have done that too!!!!! But I’d you know the tone of your family I would say make sure that you give them a break down of the apprenticeship, what qualification you finish with and what the plan is after the apprenticeship.
Can international students get apprenticeships?
I’m not sure unfortunately!! It’s something you’d have to look into.
what websites could i use to access to practice for the assessment centre such as written tasks or interview questions

Thank you, this is really helpful@@apprenticeish
Thanks for the Vid 😊
No problem 😊
Started watching you in sixth form as an applicant and now I’m sixth months into my apprenticeship ❤️
I love that!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥳
Love the content💕
That’s very kind, thank you!
Honestly, this is so motivating and keep up with the good work as this is your final year. I can’t wait and hope to get into the solicitors apprenticeship I have applied for 💕
Thanks so much! I really pray that you get the apprenticeship at the company you desire !!! I wish you all the best ☺️❤️
@@apprenticeish Thank you soo much it means a lot,I feel soo motivated and encouraged seeing you succeed and in your final year I wish happiness, wellness and success. This makes me feel like I want to do well and not give up even I don’t get in I will try all my best. Thank you ❤️
I like when you do vlogs like this. It gives us an insight into what the life of an apprentice really looks like
Thank you so much❤️ I be sure to post them more regularly - I genuinely thought that people were uninterested, I was just posting them for me to keep track. I’ll keep this in mind when planning content ☺️
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
Im now in my last year of university. Got 13 months until gateway and on the EPA. Then graduating in September 2025. I think its amazing how much degree apprenticeship can open so many doors for us. Your gonna go so far ❤
EEK! Congratulations👯♀️ that’s so exciting, you’re close to the end!!!!!!! It’s good to hear when people are close to finishing
im thinking of doing an apprenticeship and the work load doesn't really turn me off, but I have a question, at the end of my apprenticeship would I be on the same level as someone who did a law degree the traditional way? I want to be a corporate lawyer would I be able to?
Hey, if you do a solicitor apprentice you should qualify as a solicitor . If someone takes the traditional route ( ie law degree, training, SQE/LPC) they are also enroute qualifying as a solicitor.
Thank you for being real to the camera and the world!!! This is some real shhhhhh appreciate ya sis 🙏
Anytime!
heyy veryyy excited for the upcoming vlogs. Your contents are always useful without a fail. Please don't get discouraged by the numbers and keep doing what u do best. I'm sure this videos will have millions of views soon when people realise how helpful ur contents are. You're amazing!! ❤❤
You’re actually so kind ❤️😊 thank you so much!!! To be honest I really enjoy editing, it like the equivalent of going to the gym - helps me destress 🎉 so I’m probably going to be much happier by the end of this challenge and y’all get more content 😇 So even if it doesn’t a ton of views - it is well!!!
VERY excited for 40 days of content!!!!
Thanks!!!! I’m sure that my sleep schedule is going to love it too lol 😆
Thank-you.. very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
heavy words, thank you.
No worries!
thank you so much for your video. it’s helping me handle the rejections gracefully :)
You're so welcome!
Honestly, the rejection will happen at some point, if it's not a one company - it's at another and the reality is, that's good! You don't want to be perfect everywhere, because it means you have interests in particular things and also not everywhere deserves you. Try again but slowly, thoughtfully and get some feedback!
Absolutely, loving the GROWTH and TRANSPARENCY in this vid. You will smash this final quarter !! 💖💖
Thank you so much!!
hie how do you apply for an apprenticeship it’s been a confusing process for me
Hello, this video might help: Unexpected Places To Find Apprenticeships and Degree Apprenticeships czcams.com/video/olinSIUV134/video.html But you can apply through employers websites and UCAS as well.
Thank you so much for being so honest! loved the whole video and learned a lot! we need you. keep going dear🥰🥰
Thank you so much 🤗
Im 25, I am just starting my last two modules of second year . It goes so quick, my apprenticeship finishes in May 2025 I believe, crazy how much Ive already done in career so far. Your smashing it 🎉
Thank you❤️🥹 and congratulations! May 2025 is not that far away!
this has borderline terrified me
Which part 😂💀
such a helpful video! If you dont mind me asking, what did you get in your A levels both time round? My results werent very good and Im contemplating whether i should do retakes
I honestly cannot remember round one 😭 but I ended up with BBC. I’m pretty sure that round one was BDD or BCD something like that. Hope that helps ❤️
Wishing you all the best! Rest up ❤
as an accounting apprentice, I fully relate to this exam stress - and they say apprenticeships are for dumb people🤦♂️
Honestly!!!! These exams will have you in the trenches!!! Especially whilst working as well, just another layer! Good luck with any exams you have coming up!
likewise - hope all goes well on your side too!
Good luck 🎉
Thanks!!! ☺️
how is the adjustment from an alevel student to a degree apprenticeship is it as drastic as gcses to alevel
Definitely not the same in my experience. I think they try to ease to in, so the modules you do at first are quite a good transition into the harder modules. I think the heat really turns up in the last year of the degree, in my opinion.
Can international students apply for apprenticeships ?
It appears that you can: International students You can do an apprenticeship as an international student, but you need to be eligible to work in the UK and have the necessary visas. You need to look at the details of each apprenticeship vacancy and contact the university/college and employer to check their eligibility criteria. www.ucas.com/apprenticeships/who-are-apprenticeships-for
HI, I wanted to ask do you think it is possible for some one who finished college with a Level 3 IT national extended diploma and took a gap year and is now doing a IT and networking course can be accepted for a solicitor apprenticeships or did you need to have done certain things in college/sixth form? And if so do you think I should mass apply or only apply to certain firms when the applications are opened? Thanks luv the vids!
Hello! Glad you find the videos helpful! I honestly have no idea about applying except without A Levels & GCSEs, because that’s what I’ve applied with. I think it depends on the level of apprenticeship you’re applying for. For example, when I applied for my first apprenticeship, I had my GCSEs and then at the end of that I had the chance to progress in another apprenticeship in the same company and by that time I had a level 3 qualification as well. So maybe you apply for a paralegal apprenticeship then work your way into a solicitor apprentice; there may even be one connected to the same firm. You might have to play it by ear or contact the relevant department at a company and ask. It unlikely that all companies want the same thing because they’re quite different. If you want to apply there’s no harm in doing so if that’s what you want because it’s good practice in any case. You could become better with each application. Worst case scenario they say no or reject your application and best case you get an apprenticeship. The application process can be lengthy depending on where you apply. Sorry that wasn’t much help!!
@@apprenticeishno worries thanks for replying I’ll have a go when applications open because I saw some of them say a level equivalent so I’ll see if they accept. Thanks again.
