Will degree apprenticeships take access to he courses?

I’m currently 19 and am doing an access to engineering course due to personal difficulties leading to me dropping out of sixth form in year 12. I have top grades at GCSE and have done virtual work experience. Do i have a chance of getting a degree apprenticeship in engineering, I just want to work for a small firm, nothing prestigious. Anyone got any recommendations that will boost my chances?

Hi, I got into 8 degree apprenticeships including engineering. if you want, I can send through some resources to help with your application, including how to write a winning CV and cover letter. Let me know if you'd be interested and I'll send over.
