How hard would you say it is to balance (apprenticeship) work and studying the course?

Hi Isaac,Great question, and something that should be considered before thinking about taking the apprenticeship [link removed]'s, of course, dependent on your course, industry, and your current ability with the subject. For me, in a pharmaceutical science role, studying a biological degree, the balance is okay at most times of the year, with two difficult peaks at Christmas and then summer. This is simply when work demands the most from me, whilst university deadlines and exams also run in [link removed] difficult YOU find the balance is dependent on your ability to manage workload and stress. For me, it's been difficult at times to do so, as this is all still new to me. If you're someone that is proven to be able to manage high workloads without becoming too stressed and hyperfocussed, then apprenticeships will be great for you. If not, still consider them but be aware that from the beginning, you'll need to establish revision methods, notekeeping, etc that works for you. Apprenticeships are absolutely great, and can set you up really well for your career, however I don't want to sugarcoat it and tell you it's always a breeze :). If you set your mind to it from the start, though, you'll be fine!Hope that helps.
