??? What subject would you wish to study, would you want to move to uni or live at home, how old are you, etc. All you've told us is you're doing an Apprenticeship. Most unis accept people without A Levels but who have other equivalent qualifications.

Who told you you can go to uni after you finish your apprenticeship? They might be the best person to chat about your options with. Also, by this year do you mean going to uni this September? You might be too late to go this year depending on the course etc.

Do you actually want to go to university? It sounds like you're asking this just because your trainer said so. Are you committed to doing essays and having deadlines and studying for exams again for the next three or four years?

You need to do a search for degrees in your chosen subject and look at the entry requirements. Here is an example of one such course: https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/bsc-computing

You could still apply for university starting this year but the deadline for equal consideration of your application was January 15th. This means you could try and apply this year anyway and see if you get in, or wait til next year to apply.

This is what UCAS says about Apprenticeships and Degrees.
