19 and cant find an apprenticeship

Hi, last year i completed my A levels in Business (C), Economics (B) and Psychology which is sucked in and got a D. Im trying to find a web developer or software developer apprenticeship but everytime i get somewhere when i apply i need more experience even for the level 3 ones. I have previous knowledge in Python so this year im learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript which im really enjoying. Ill try to add my cv on here as well, Ive tried to apply to skills bootcamps like the gov funded ones but i turned 19 in december instead of in August thats why i dont fit the criteria. if someone can advise me on what to do in this situtation i appreciate it.

have you got any work experience, might be good to get that on your application. any part time job or work experience relevant or irrelevant to the role is always a good start

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes so I have some experience. For example, I am currently an ambassador and moderator for this app plus I've helped over 20,000 students with revision help. Also I took part in a charity event as well so I did write a bit about that in my CV
