Nikesh BhadliaContent Producer Apprentice - Music Maestro
Student
I recently started my course and I have met so many new creatives and it's fantastic to share experiences from our different creative backgrounds and learn together around a really exciting up and coming area of work. Our course leader has an impressive professional history and is a great mentor to learn from, and the college is extremely supportive and encouraging, which is especially valued for someone like me who is really starting from base knowledge!

Frequently Asked Questions

General

  • I will be finishing education soon, can I apply for an apprenticeship now?
    It is recommended that you begin to apply for apprenticeships about 1 month prior to finishing education as we aim to fill our apprenticeship vacancies ASAP.
  • How long will it take to receive a response regarding my application
    You will receive a response within 10 working days. 
  • The application closing date has passed but the role is still on the website. Can I still apply for the apprenticeship?
    The application closing dates are not final. If the role is visible on our website, it has not been filled so you may apply.

    • Eligibility Criteria

  • Can Graduates apply for apprenticeships?
    Yes! Graduates can apply for apprenticeships, as long as your degree isn’t the same as the apprenticeship standard you intend to apply for.  For example, if you have a Digital Marketing degree, you will not be able to apply for a Digital Marketing apprenticeship as you have already achieved a qualification higher than a level 3. If you have a Digital Marketing Degree and would like to apply for an Events apprenticeship, then this is acceptable.  It’s also important to ensure that you meet the other eligibility criteria (see here).
  • Am I “too old” to apply for an apprenticeship?
    There is no such thing as being “too old” for an apprenticeship. The age criteria for an apprenticeship is 16+.  It’s also important to ensure that you meet the other eligibility criteria (see here).

    • English & Maths

  • What happens when I apply for an apprenticeship in relations to maths and english?
    When you apply for a BCE apprenticeship, we will conduct a search of your Personal Learning Record to evidence your qualification achievements in Maths and English. In some cases, where there is no central record due to timeframe – you may be required to supply copies of your Maths and English certificates.  Acceptable Evidence  If you do not have a certificate from the awarding organization, you will need to provide a replacement certificate before the commencement of your apprenticeship. This can be obtained through the ‘awarding body’. If you are still unsure please let us know and our Apprenticeship support team will be happy to assist you. 
  • I do not have a grade of 4 or above in GCSE English and Maths. Can I still do an apprenticeship at BCE?
    No.  If you are 19+ you can apply for our Functional Skills English and Maths courses here.  If you are 16-18 you can apply for a Traineeship where you’d be able to redo these qualifications as part of the program  Once you successfully achieve Level 2 in Maths and English you will then be eligible for a BCE apprenticeship
  • I did not complete Maths & English GCSEs in the U.K. Am I still eligible for an apprenticeship?
    If you completed IGCSEs and achieved a grade 4/C or above in Maths & English then you are eligible to apply for our apprenticeships. If you completed a different qualification in high school or outside of the UK, you will need to visit the ECCTIS website  to translate your English and Maths qualifications to see if they’re equivalent to GCSEs.  https://www.enic.org.uk (follow the guidance)  (Different rules apply for Scotland) -- Through ECCTIS you will need to supply a statement of comparability (which will also confirm your name and date you were awarded the certificates and if it is comparable with the English English and Maths grade 4/C and above
    • Comparable with relevant English/Maths Framework (Regulated qualification Level 2)
    Or 
    • Comparable with relevant English/Maths GCSE (Grade 4 and above)
