2 questions

im in year 12 and do rs history and economics a levels, does this restrict me from doing most apprenticeships? i was interested in a business one but do i need specific a levels?
second question is that if i do want to do a business a levels, what extra curricular things could i do, due to myself being busy, things like work experience would be difficult but if thats the only type of extra curricular i would find a way to do it but are there other options or online courses relating to business apprenticeships that would enhance my cv?

I'd suggest having a look at some of the apprenticeships advertised locally to you (or specific ones you'd be interested in) and see what their requirements are. From my local experience, a lot of business apprenticeships require a certain number of UCAS points, rather than specific subjects but it might vary.

Do you know if it's possible to take the Business A-Level at your college? You might not be able to do it in a year depending on how they operate. Instead, is something like an EPQ an option and you could give it a business focus? Or if not, you could look for free online courses like FutureLearn/Open University if any of those appeal to you.
