Whether they are still open or not, I saw one in Benfleet and another at Chelmsford College.

 

Try signing up to the training providers (QA, Firebrand etc) or have a look at your local college.

 

If I find any, I'll update you :-) (looking at some myself!)

Cheers, but its going to be a bit hard to access because i have to travel via Public Transport. It's a bit far from Braintree as well.

That would of been perfect, apart from I'm not 18 :(

 

How old are you?

I would contact the school directly and speak to them. If you show how interested you are they may make an exception.

I have just finished my QA apprenticeship. I would recommend calling their team on 0845 074 7825 as they were really helpful signing me upand offer you a great amount of support throughout your apprenticeship.

My advice is to ask schools directly. I had quite an issue finding decent applicants for our apprentice slot. We are obviously signed up with a training provider but if the candidates dont contact our particular provider or notice their literature/recruitment then I wont get to know. A 16 year old applicant would need to be exceptional though; since we are a sixth form I would need to be convinced of the candidates maturity. We have had a 17 year old apprentice in the past, he was a young leader in the scouts so had a decent extra curricular portfolio to back him up.

I think that is going to be my best way at doing this.

They where very good when we used them and nice and efficient - I'm sure when something comes up they will be in touch. It is just a case of waiting for one to appear I guess!

 

Perhaps if you have time you could potentially volunteer at a local school over the summer holidays? I'm sure they would love a hand and it gets you experience if not only basic things such as setting up machines/imaging etc.

Yep, I might have to do that. After the 13th June, I'm off still September and the volunteering could lead to bigger things :D

Exactly, i started in IT removing 3 computer rooms worth of kit and replacing it all, on a temporary contract for 3 weeks with no intention of doing IT

 

Nearly 7 years later I'm still in the gamr and work as a tech consultant!

Definitely contact the schools directly. I know that several people on here have bemoaned the lack of IT savvy youngsters to train up so you may well have a chance. Make sure your letter is informative- citing your IT knowledge - especially anything you have done in your own time to learn more. DO check spelling, grammar and sense though!

I'm going to try and do that. After I leave school, I'm going to write to some of the schools in my Local area.

 

Le Edit: Can someone please check out my CV please, if they wanted to? :p
