Can I do an Apprenticeship whilst studying a Level 3 BTEC?

I'm struggling to find a job and I'd like to be more independent.
I am in the second year of my BTEC Level 3 and I realised the course I was doing isn't suiting me very much (but I don't want to drop out as I have already spent 1 year on the course). Would it be possible to have an Apprenticeship whilst also studying my BTEC?

For reference, I am doing a course in Psychology with Forensic Investigation but I am now more interested in: Teaching, Special Needs, Educational Psychology.

If it's not possible, do you have any recommendations for me to get relevant experience?

Alright thank you.

Do you have any recommendations for how I can get work experience in Teaching, Special Needs or Educational Psychology?
