£35,500 vs finish A levels

Depends on what degree you'd be doing and at which Uni

A Levels doesn't necessarily lead to university.

My uncle did an apprenticeship with them and they sponsored his degree

Apprenticeship, if you're sure it's what you want.

You're going to be doing something which isn't transferable to x amount of industries and going to Airbus means you're going to the very top of civilian aviation - which is a fantastic opportunity, as long as you know it's what you want.

Chat to current apprentices if you can and ask for a detailed low-down on what it is you will be doing in Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4 and then what levels there are for further progression after completing the apprenticeship.

Good luck and congrats on that offer. That's an exceptional amount to be earning in one year (or is that figure spread over a few years?). Nonetheless, congrats.

Well provided that the apprenticeship is accredited and you have prospects to move up the pecking order, then take the apprenticeship, its a non brainer. You should probably ask Airbus some advice and I imagine they would recommend you finish the A levels. You may as well just finish it and ask them if they can hold the place open for you

Certainly that would be ideal but I doubt they'd give you the job then keep it open for you for a year

That's a gamble he'll have to take I guess. If this was a "Airbus Apprenticeship vs University", it would be much easier to say pick the apprenticeship because they'll sponsor your degree anyway. We need more of that in this economy. Apprenticeships and apprenticeships that sponsor people to do degrees. Maybe the university system wouldn't be such an overcrowded, useless mess as it is today. If you get a sponsorship, you're sniffing pure gold dust.

I am in a dilemma over doing an apprenticeship with Airbus or finishing my A levels. I've already been offered an interview by another company in the same industry but I'm away then and they couldn't reschedule (asking them to transfer application to next year). If it were possible that I could do both so I keep options open I would but I don't know if my 6th form would allow it

What yawl think I should do?

I think you should go with the Airbus apprenticeship and finish your AS at least and then potentially come back to your A2 as you can get tutors etc outside of school for a fee. What exactly does your apprenticeship involve?
