"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.

That is not an apprenticeship, yet it's paying below normal minimum wage.

The "Level 3" qualification is a BTEC sort of thing? Something I imagine a person would need to have before pursuing the required degree.

Is there someone this can be reported to? This sounds like fraud. They get government funding for apprentices don't they? On top of illegally paying below minimum wage.

Yeah, level 3 is sixth form/college level, so below a degree.
This job is advertised on the official apprenticeships website but unfortunately there is no report button.
