To become an apprentice you have to convince the employer that you are the right person for the job. Although competition for places is often fierce your academic record is not the only thing employers will judge you on. Good qualifications are definitely an advantage, and the usual minimum requirements are 3 ‘Cs’ at GCSE in Maths, English & Science. However the main things employers are looking for are enthusiasm and motivation.
Determination
Employers are looking to recruit well motivated young people. Those who can demonstrate genuine interest tend to do well in interview. Relevant work experience, part time jobs, or if you have done voluntary work is all useful. We strongly recommend that you contact engineering companies yourself. Pick up the phone and show them you’re keen !
