Due to the Apprenticeship entry criteria, applications cannot be accepted from any applicant who has already gained a similar qualification at a Level 3 or above in the role applied for.  For example, if you have a Level 3 Business Administration qualification you would not be eligible to apply for an Administration based Apprenticeship post.  However, you could apply for any other apprenticeship post.  Any such applications will not be considered.
