Apply for the traineeship job role if it is something that you are interested in. You might find it is interesting and might choose this path to build a career.

Do you have any other plans for after your gap year?

Yes I plan to to pursue a computer science at university after the gap year.

I cannot comment specifically on which training programmes are best - now that the link works, perhaps a knowledgeable TSR user may be able to give you more advice.

My opinion is that is it something that you really need? You will be paying nearly £700 for the course and whilst it claims that it will guarantee you a job in IT, my thoughts are that is what you will be going to university for. A degree in computer science will be a more detailed and complex approach that will lead to better roles when you graduate. £700 is a lot of money for some, and if it isn't necessary for your career, you could look for other things to do in your gap year. If you are wanting to get some computer experience, are there free online courses (or lower cost ones) that you could look into?
