It is possible to complete part of an Apprenticeship while you are still at school.
In a School-based Apprenticeship, you complete part of your Apprenticeship part time and also complete your QCE as well. A school-based apprentice will normally complete the first year of their apprenticeship while they are at school and then complete the rest of the apprenticeship full time once they have completed school.
You would normally work with your host employer for between 6-8 hours per week, plus some time in the school holidays.
