Can you apply to multiple apprenticeship?
We advise that candidates only apply for one pathway. It looks better to the reader if you are clear and decisive regarding the specific pathway you have chosen to apply for. Our screeners will be aware of all of the applications made and it can therefore look as though you are less dedicated and haven’t done your research if you apply to many. However if you are really torn between two pathways, we ask that you tailor your application for each.
