Understanding a degree apprenticeship

I am 20 years old and I am taking a Level 2 apprenticeship for 18 months for IT and gain Maths.

I want to work my way there to a degree apprenticeship at University

I want to properly understand what a degree apprenticeship gives me in the future

Would I be taking all Level 4,5 and 6 for 3-5 years or I can go straight to a degree after finishing Level 3 apprenticeship?

I started a level 2 apprenticeship at 19 and worked my way up to completing a level 6.

There is no level 5, level 5 training requirements are included in the level 4 and 6 apprenticeship study. Also, the key skills (Math/IT/English) requirements are the same for all apprenticeships. If you do a level 2, they’ll get you to sit them as part of your training and you won’t have to do it again.

You can skip to level 6 after a level 3, but here are the options:

Level 4 Higher Apprenticeship
Advantages:
•You study the equivalent of the first 2 years of your bachelors degree and obtain a HNC & HND or a foundation degree.
• You could possibly change your degree for your level 6 top-up e.g., mechanical to manufacturing engineering.
Disadvantages:
• If you haven’t got a solid commitment from your Level 4 employer to do the 2-year top up, you may struggle to find an alternative
employer for this.
• You may need to change “university” to study the level 6 top up and be introduced to new subjects without the introductory taught modules.
• If you fall behind on your apprenticeship competency portfolio, or if your EPA assessment is delayed, you may need to have a 1 year gap between your level 4 and level 6 top-up to secure your level 4 qualifications.

Level 6 Degree Apprenticeship.
Advantages:
•You have a contract that secures your training to level 6 with a bachelors degree.
Disadvantages:
•You won’t receive a qualification after third year.
• You can’t choose to have a study break without extenuating circumstances. You need to complete the full apprenticeship.

if you have Level 3 qualifications like A-Levels/Btecs, then yep you'll be eligible to apply and do level 6 apprenticeships - just like you need A-Levels/Btecs for university, it's the same requirements for a Level 6 Degree Apprenticeship. You'll also most likely need a Level 2 Maths and English at a passing grade or above.
