Life after A-levels...

I am doing my A-levels at the moment, in A2 English Language (predicted a B), A2 Psychology (predicted a C/D), and AS Critical Thinking (predicted a B).

I do not want to go to university. I would like to do an apprenticeship, but do not know where to go.

Arcadia do a Managers Trainee Programme which I applied for, but they declined my offer.

Does anyone else know of any other apprenticeship programmes?

What sort of apprenticeship are you looking for? They are pretty broad. How old are you?

Anything interesting really. I was thinking either one in retail, fitness instructing, or a dispensing optician apprenticeship.

19, but will be 20 on 22nd December.

I would like to start the apprenticeship in September 2008, but would start earlier (July 2008) if need be.

Most apprenticeships are free for people under 25.

If you have a Connexions in your area they should have a list of places which offer them. Otherwise, ask in places. A friend of mine learnt to be a pharmacy dispensing assistant after just working in Boots for a while
