Level 3 Student, Only have 3 GCSES including English What should I do

Hey, I am unable to decide what is best, I am 18 on my first year of level 3. I want to do an apprenticeship but I don't know if it is better to wait until my full level 3 course is over whilst having 2 more chances to pass my maths then applying for it or to leave this year and do a level 3 apprenticeship where functional skills would be required. I don't know what's best or better as if I leave college and I do not find any apprenticeships I just feel like I just wasted that time where I could've gotten a full Level 3 Extended Diploma.

I would say continue and finish your lvl 3, try your best to get the maths, as having English and maths are key in many apprenticeship opportunities.
