What is the difference between apprenticeships and A-levels?
Apprenticeship and college/sixth forms are alternatives to each other. However, through apprenticeships, you gain the same qualifications as you would in college/sixth form.
The only difference is that on an apprenticeship, you will receive additional qualifications, gain more valuable work experience, earn money and have a head start in moving up the ladder in the IT industry! You can get all of this than just going to college and gaining a few qualifications.
Hence why ICT apprenticeships are a great or sometimes even a better alternative!
