Does doing a Level 3/4 in the same field make it easy to get a Level 6?

It's not guaranteed but it puts you in a good running for one. I've seen it happen with people. A guy we had working in the business started as a site labourer on a level 2 apprenticeship and moved onto a Level 6 in quantity surveying so very possible. But lower level apprenticeships are less competitive, one level 6 role I was recruiting for had 500 applications for one role, and the level 3 ones I was managing probably had around 50 for each.

Some times degrees aren't required for many roles, you will soon realise that experience heavily out ways qualifications.

Thanks. I'm also considering the Data Technician one, it lasts 2 years and 3 months. Would I be able to do this, and apply for a Level 6 in my second year? The problem is that I'd have to leave my Level 3 a few months early and not get any qualification. I'd only be a few months from the finish line, will the Level 6 employers still consider me fairly or would they tell me to apply next year and focus on finishing my Level 3 apprenticeship first?
