Eligibility While we never want to hinder your job application process with obstacles, there are some minimum requirements you’ll need to meet in order to do an apprenticeship, these are rules set by the UK Government. You’ll need to be over 18+ due to lab insurance purposes, not in full time education, have lived in the UK for 3 years and have the right to work in the UK.
