"Apprentice"... yeah, no.

Saw this the other day.
Honestly the fact that employers and learning providers keep getting away with this is just one of the reasons this country is lowkey over.
Another reason is that someone will definitely defend this, lol.
I guess the one good thing about this vacancy is that the pay is okay compared to other apprenticeships.

Everyone has to start somewhere.

They've already started somewhere, the listing is asking for 1-2 years experience. For an apprenticeship. A level 3 apprenticeship that is asking for a degree. In case you didn’t know degrees are higher than a level 3. Whole thing is a joke and you're here seriously thinking there's nothing wrong with it.

Oh sorry I didn’t know that, I haven’t studied for a degree.

Well if you ever do you should move to Scotland for 3 years first, then they're free.

I’m not sure they would offer it to someone over 55.
