THIS GUY GETS TO THE POINT OH MY DAYS

[@Zaki-z8i]

Really interesting to hear the perspective of a recruiter on these things. I have applied last year to degree apprenticeships and wasn't successful, although I did reach the interview stages for a few. I'm thinking of getting a CV review from yourself, but I was wondering, how would it differ if I was to apply to level 4 Apprenticeships instead?

[@TheApprenticeshipInsider]

Don't know anything specifically about level 4 apprenticeships but I imagine it is very similar. Either way, I can help you get a high quality CV which will make you an attractive candidate for level 4 and 6, so feel free to book one in. Good luck with your applications and take care

Hi! this might seem like a silly questions but do you know after getting into a degree apprenticeship and they give you block release (one month in total) and you are to spend 1 week in university (that university is far btw and you're staying in a hotel far from home), will the other apprentices go with you at the same time during that same week or is each one offered a different week than the others? thank you!

[@TheApprenticeshipInsider]

Everyone in your year at that university will have the same week because you're all one class

[@weoutheree]

​@@TheApprenticeshipInsider Thank you so much! Any questions you recommend asking after being accepted and given an offer?

[@TheApprenticeshipInsider]

How many study days do you get per year (days off for university assignments / revision)? Working from home policy. Flexible working hours. Kind of projects you'd be working on in the first few years? Those are the questions I'd be asking
