Predicted grades for degree apprenticeship when resitting a levels

My A Levels haven’t gone to plan and I will be resitting 2 or 3 in summer 2025. When applying for degree apprenticeships, companies ask for predicted and achieved grades. Would I have to tell them I’m resitting A Levels and my achieved A Level grades, or can I use my predicted grades? If I do tell them, will that affect my application process?

Thanks

If you're retaking, then I'd use your predicted grades. To be honest, as long as you meet the minimum requirements, grades don't matter that much. It's more about your skills and work experience. Have you had any work experience in your chosen field?

If you want, I can send through some resources to help you get work experience and become a better candidate which you'll be able to focus on for the next 12 months in your gap year. Let me know if you really want to do a degree apprenticeship and I can send those over.
