How do I make sure that I get the apprenticeship?

So 13 days ago I went for an interview for a veterinary care assistant apprenticeship role at a vets, I think it went well due to them being impressed with my experience and were very positive.
In the interview they didn't mention anything about hours or wage.

So 6 days ago I went for the trail, they were insinuating that i got the role by saying that we will train you with sending off lab samples etc, which made me think I gained the positioned.

BUT, they just emailed me to say that they can't confirm the position yet due to waiting for another person to come in to do their trail, but have asked me to come in next week to work for three days.

And so i'm a bit worried now that this other person may be more qualified than me resulting in me not getting the role.

As to be honest when i went in for the trail I was unable to undertake most of the normal duties for a care assistant due to how hectic it was and had to follow/ help one of the head nurses.

I just want to have people's advice on what I can do to try and make sure I gain this position.

As a qualified VN rest assure you don't necessary need experience but it can help if you do have any.
If you did a better trail then obviously you maybe offered it but you said you weren't able to do much due to being beside a VN all throughout.
Can't see why they asked you along again next week for 3 days if they weren't interested in you !!! Perhaps you should ask why they asked you back without telling you if you were successful because they can turn round next week to you and say sorry you not got it after 3 days with them !!! Yes this can happen.


Skills and Qualities of Veterinary Assistants
You will need compassion, good communication skills, fine attention to detail, and empathy for animals and their owners. As a vet assistant you will interact with pet owners and work with veterinarians and technicians. You may find yourself in emergency situations where you will need a cool head.

You’ll tend to animals’ hygiene and diet, clean their cages, and administer post-op care. You’ll need patience and a commitment to good animal care. But you’ll also need to understand the technical side of vet assistant work.

Education and Training: How to Become a Veterinary Assistant
What education do you need to be a veterinary assistant? You’ll likely need a high school diploma or its equivalent to start on the path to your new career. To enhance your knowledge and vet assistant prospects, a veterinary assistant training certificate program can provide you with a high level of specialized knowledge and practical animal caretaker knowledge.

You’ll learn best practices in veterinary management, animal systems and diseases, preventative care, pharmacology, toxicology, and more. You will also need to understand whatever computers and programs are used in the front office of the veterinarian practice.

Work Experience at a Veterinary Hospital or Clinic
Look for a veterinarian assistant program that offers hands-on externships at a veterinary hospital or clinic to help you prepare for the workplace. It will give you real-life experience and could help you land a job when you’re ready to interview—employers prefer candidates with experience already under their belts.

An entry-level job at a clinic or shelter, or volunteer work, will also give you experience interacting with animals and their owners. With your high-level understanding of vet assistant work, some hands-on experiences, and a great animal-first attitude, you should be able to hit the ground running as a vet assistant.

They just called the three days for next week as 'causal work' and said it would be in my interest.
If I do this 'causal work' next week is it more likely that they will take me on since this other person still hasn't done their trail.
And the employer who did my interview said that she can't offer the position until the person completes her trail.
