Apprenticeship Research

We had a talk at school about creative apprenticeships which sparked my interest so I did some further research.

 I went to www.notgoingtouni.co.uk and did some searches for creative apprenticeships, specifically fashion. Most apprenticeships were hair and beauty related and outside of London or to do with marketing and PR. I wouldn't mind learning about these subjects further but I wouldn't want a specific course on either.

 Using www.fashionworkie.com I searched for more specific apprenticeships but still couldn't find anything I was interested in. 

 I heard about Royal Opera House apprenticeships and saw they had a costume design vacancy which I considered applying for if I didn't get into university and didn't want to do a foundation year.

If I didn't get into my first choice  which was   Southampton   I would probably pursue an alternative path such as an apprenticeship, foundation or take a gap year. I sent my application off and the careers team sent me feedback about the changes I needed to make to my details and  this document   with the changes for my personal statement.

Acceptance of Offer

I withdrew my applications to CSM, Salford and Middlesex which meant that I didn't submit my portfolio to CSM and I didn't attend the other interviews. I did this because I knew I wanted to go to Southampton and seeing as my offer to Southampton was unconditional I decided to accept it.  Because I accepted Southampton as my firm choice I am also eligible for a scolarship depending on my grades.
