What are the pros and cons of an apprenticeship? How is the study load considering you’re on 9-5 shifts on the weekdays? Does it ever feel like too much?

Hi, the workload can be a lot and if you don't prepare in the right way, you will end up working/studying on your weekends and evenings. However, if you know the tactics to balance your workload correctly and level up your productivity, you definitely get everything done within working hours. If you want, I can send through a link which talks about how to succeed in your degree apprenticeship including managing the workload. If this is something you're worried about, that might be something for you to look at. Let me know and I'll send it over. Otherwise, apprenticeships are a great way to earn money and get qualifications so definitely look forward to it if you're thinking about starting one.
