apprenticeship advice

who is considering to do an apprenticeship at KPMG, PWC, EY and Ernst and Young! I need advice and i'm confused when to apply, because KPMG applications are not open yet but PWC is open and they are requiring for UCAS but I still haven't finished my personal statement

Apprenticeships won't ask you to fill out a UCAS application. I've never heard of that nor had it (and I've applied for many). Just keep checking indeed and the gov website and they will eventually pop up.

I've done 2 years of an advanced apprenticeship and I have just started a degree apprenticeship at one of the worlds largest companies. I've applied for all the major companies - BAE, Airbus, Shell, Various Banks, British Airways, Qinetiq and Exxon just to name a few as well as several smaller companies.

wow that's really cool, as I'm going to finish sixth form this year, should I apply for a degree apprenticeship or should I do an advanced apprenticeship, then upgrade to a degree apprenticeship.

Go for degree apprenticeships, the only reason I did advanced first was because I did it instead of alevels, the jobs that advanced apprenticeships provide are quite different to degree ones - they tend to be more menial jobs.

Sorry but I would refrain from saying that as it wouldn't be hard to find who I actually am
