Careers - BBC Level 6 software engineering apprenticeship - currently at GCSE level
I’m a student from Northern Ireland and I’m aiming for the BBC Level 6 Software Engineering Degree Apprenticeship in Salford once I finish school.
I'd appreciate any advice from people who've completed or are completing the apprenticeship. How do I make myself stand out? How likely am I to stay after the apprenticeship (I want to). I’m also planning to set up a small tech support business during my gap year (helping individuals and small businesses with IT issues, networking, cloud setup, etc.) to build real‑world experience before applying.
My current GCSE subjects (CCEA):
- Digital Technology
- English Language
- English Literature
- Maths
- Further Maths
- Physics
- Chemistry
- French
- Spanish
My planned A‑levels:
- Maths
- Computer Science
- Physics
