Hi,
So I’m really interested doing apprenticeship for pharmacy I still have a year until yr11 and I finish school but my question is if I go to college can I do apprenticeship too or I need to do one thing only??

Hi, as far as I know if you do a full time course at college then you can't also do an apprenticeship because it would also be another full-time form of education. However, some colleges do offer apprenticeships which you could try having a look into.

Hope that helps :smile:

I'm not entirely sure if that's possible because from what I've understood apprenticeships, especially those you take on before 18 years of age, will be a full-time job with designated time for you to do the study parts, and you can only be enrolled with one full-time training provider at a time. So it would be a around 30 hours of work a week along with studying for a day or so, which might be spread out differently depending on where/what you work as and the level of apprenticeship.
No would be my answer, but try doing some more research.

Here's a link to a page on UCAS that might be helpful in answering your questions: https://www.ucas.com/apprenticeships/what-are-expected-apprenticeship-hours
