I'm currently doing a level 3 apprenticeship. This was very informative. I didn't know the level after 4 is 7 so this really helped 👍

Assalamu Alaikum. First of all I wanna say your videos are very helpfuly and informative and InshAllah you continue to make more. I am currently in year 12 but after my A levels I want to do a degree apprenticeship in Manchester University. I was wondering if you could help me find an answer to the entry requirements to do so as I'm struggling to find any

@FehzanMehdi 2 жыл бұрын

Wa alaykum as Salam degree apprenticeships are normally recruited for via an employer or you apply via ucas. If you know which employer the Manchester Uni is in partnership with you can check the employer’s website.

Salam, I’m currently in my final year of A-levels and applying for accounting apprenticeships. Do you think that it would be worth also applying for AAT level 2 apprenticeships as well and if so, would that slow down my progression significantly (towards becoming a fully qualified accountant) compared to starting at level 3/4 Would appreciate any feedback from someone in the industry Jazakhallakhair

@FehzanMehdi 2 жыл бұрын

Wa alaykum as Salam by doing level 2 you will be delaying progression by a maximum of one year compared to starting level 3. If you’ve done a levels I recommend starting at level 3 but again no issue with starting at level 2.

Wa alaykum as Salam if you have no experience or degree then you should apply for a level 4/7 apprenticeship to begin with.

Salaam brother, I’m in year 12 and approaching summer holiday and year 13, I have done one internship in asset management and investment banking, I wanted to get some summer work experience but unfortunately for the top 4 firms and other good firms many application form have expired but I may be able to find some work still. I was wondering what is the likely hood of my being able to make my way from level 4-7 finance degree apprenticeship with only an internship as experience?

Wa alaykum as Salam you should be fine there’s people who get in without any experience straight after school. The work experience is a nice to have not an essential.

@mahamkhan2854 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, I would like to ask if I was to complete a level 5 apprenticeship in HR, is that equivalent to a foundation degree or a bachelors degree? Also, will the job opportunities narrow if I were to do level 5 instead of level 6. In summary, will it be more beneficial to do a level 6 apprenticeship or a level 5.

@FehzanMehdi 2 жыл бұрын

That would be the equivalent of Level 5 - it depends if it's level 6 and relevant to your career then yes you'd expect it to be worth more than a level 5 qualification. However, doesn't mean you have to only do level 6 apprenticeships, can do a level 5 and then move on to something higher. Your employer may see potential in you and offer another qualification.

@zubairsiddique9058 2 жыл бұрын

I'm still quite confused because do you need to do your a levels first to do a level 3 apprenticeship or can you do a level 3 apprenticeship straight after leaving GCSE/Year11

@FehzanMehdi 2 жыл бұрын

A level 3 is the equivalent of a levels. You don’t have to do a levels you could secure a level 3 after your gcses. But many apprenticeships after a levels start at level 3 too - the reason is employers want to ease you in as it’s unlikely you’ll have any accounting knowledge

@FehzanMehdi 4 ай бұрын

Yes you can go straight into level 4 but it can depend on your study method ie if you go and study with a company they have their own entry requirements whereas if you study by yourself you can go straight into the level 4 if that’s what you want

@FehzanMehdi 2 жыл бұрын

Wa alaykum as Salam you get MAAT after completing level 4 aat and submitting an application to become a member of the AAT. You would just apply for a level 3 apprenticeship if you’re talking about what type of roles I’d aim for finance assistant / analyst or practice roles.

Hi, do u think it is good to start an apprenticeship straight after GCSEs instead of doing a levels, and do a level 3 . If I do a level 3 would I be able to progress onto higher levels. I don’t rlly want to do a levels, how long would it take to complete an apprenticeship from level 3 to 4

Level 3 aat takes 18 months. Then you can apply for aat level 4 which takes around the same time

When applying for a degree apprenticeship, do I apply for the ACCA apprenticeship and then discuss which uni I’m going to?

Not all apprenticeships are degree apprenticeships they may offer the chartered qualification only. So best to review the careers website they normally have a partnership with a university and at most you may be able to select from a few universities

Thought you were asking just about maths but yes you’re right you need to have the equivalent of 3 a levels which can be a mix of btec and a levels - some firms will only consider your top 3 qualifications and that’s it. So if you go with the 2 AS options you may not be eligible for all schemes

Hello I'm turning 22 in may and I have 11 GCSEs 2 A levels (psychology and computer science) and a level 3 qualification (applied science). I passed my first year of psychology at uni but dropped out in my second year. I'm working full time at the moment and living on my own where do you recommend I start? I looked at the AAT's 2-4 and thought they would be a good place to start however I also found out I can do a level 7 aca apprenticeship because I did A levels. However i'm unsure of my chances of someone accepting me for that role as I have only worked in an office for 6 months. The level 7 seems a faster route and I am willing to relocate for it

@FehzanMehdi 2 жыл бұрын

So if the applied science carries ucas points and you have the equivalent of ucas points then you’ll be eligible to apply in most instances if you meet the entry requirements the fact that you dropped out of uni, have only worked for 6 months etc should not matter.
