You say you're looking for "a higher apprenticerhip opening combining uni with work experience", but the fact that you say, "I am well capable of A levels" suggests that you don't have any. Do you have any Level 3 qualifications (A levels, BTECs, NVQs, etc.)? These will often be expected. Or do you perhaps have an existing Level 4 or 5 (higher) apprenticeship?

I assume you've had a browse through Not Going to Uni, but given your desire to work outdoors, you may also be interested in:
• Outdoor Apprenticeships (from the Institute for Outdoor Learning)
• Outdoor Adventure Apprenticeship Schemes
• Working Outdoors Apprenticeships

Thank you for your reply. I am in year 11 so just taking my GCSE's in 2024. I write because I do not wish to study A levels and understand BTEC's are stopping in 2025 I do not want to make the wrong move into a qualification which closes doors in the future in case I need UCAS points and I am looking for something to challenge my education learning whilst working.
It is difficult as I have no idea what career path to take.
Thank you for your support.

If you haven't even taken your GCSEs (which are level 1/2 qualifications), and are looking ahead to potential level 3 qualifications (A levels, BTECs, etc.) then the title of this thread ("Level 6 & 7 apprenticeships") seems a little misplaced. To put those levels into perspective, the third year of a standard undergraduate degree is level 6; a master's degree is level 7. Were you really asking about apprenticeships at those levels?

A range a vocational qualifications are being removed, not just BTECs, but also qualifications from City & Guilds, NCFE, and others. They are being removed (to be replaced by T levels) in three waves, which the final wave in 2026/27. So if you don't want to do A levels, but want to look to what you might do instead, take a look at T levels or level 3 apprenticeships.
