Our apprenticeships involve a fair amount of academic work. For that reason, we'll need you to have already achieved the qualifications listed below, or their equivalents in your part of the UK.
- A-Level – Two or more at grade A* to C in Maths, Physics, Engineering or Chemistry or any other technical subject.
- GCSE – Grade C or above in Maths (higher paper), English, Science and at least one other subject (ideally something technical like Design and Technology).
Enthusiasm for practical and theoretical science
Beyond your academic qualifications, we'll be looking for evidence that you're genuinely interested in and enthusiastic about developing a career in your chosen area. This apprenticeship is ideal if you've enjoyed a mixture of practical and theoretical physics and chemistry studies at school, have a good practical understanding of computers and show a real passion for technology subjects.
Fast learner and evidence of achievements
Articulate, numerate, driven and a fast learner, you’ll be someone who's good at engaging people at all levels. We'll also be looking for ways you’ve proven your motivation in the past. So be ready to tell us all about the sports you play, the languages you’ve learned or the events you’ve organised. You might have taken part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award or have done some charity work: tell us about it.
