I've accepted two degree apprenticeship offers as they have different grade requirements and I'm interested in both. Although, I'm quite worried about denying one of the firms on results day. Does anyone have experience with this?
I know it varies, I just want some general understanding

What sort of salary would you need?
You sacrifice your early 20s for a job. It’s just a job. You’ll be working for the next 40 years of your life. Most are with low ranking Universities. Degree apprenticeships are harder to get than both graduate schemes and internships. If you can get a degree apprenticeship clearly the job market isn’t a massive issue for you. The University debt isn’t significant. I’m saying this as someone with 2 offers who’s just realised the financial advantage and work experience really means very little when you look at the sacrifice you’re making. You have to ask yourself what’s the point of life, to work as soon as possible or have some freedom before you work for 40 years? And the career advantage is almost non existent, starting work at 18 vs 22 means very little in the long term. Earlier is not always better, especially when it costs you freedom.
I have missed an exam due to a mental health crisis, and I may miss the rest of my exams also. I’ve done paper 1 + paper 2 business, paper 1 sociology and paper 1 psychology, but missed paper 2 psychology. I’m worried that I will be denied special consideration for missing the past and future exams, such as paper 3 psychology, paper 3 business and paper 1 + 2 sociology. For evidence, I have the head of the exam office as a witness and a GP statement, I’m worried I’ll still be denied.

I’m curious how many applications, online assessment, assessment centres interview stages you went through and if you ended up with an offer.
I got an offer for the ‘project management degree apprenticeship’ with Arcadis, and I felt great. Later, I realised the course, which was initially advertised as being with the University of Exeter, is instead with the Chartered Institute of Building. They also changed the BSc (Hons) Project Management degree to the BSc Construction Quantity Surveyor. I removed Hons since I can’t find any information suggesting it is even an Hons degree. They clearly have a lack of quantity surveyors and are trying to use their degree apprentices to fill the gaps.
This is literally all CIOB states this about the qualification on their website:
Degree apprentices also need to be employed in the occupation they are studying.
CIOB provides Level 6 degree apprenticeships in Construction Site Management, Design and Construction Management, and Construction Quantity Surveyor, and is also an End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) for these standards.
