PCSpecialist don’t monitor the forums, none of us work for them. Best thing would be to call them to discuss.

I commend you for thinking about what you want to do after you leave school but do more to find out what firms do and what is available. Meanwhile, also concentrate on next years GCSE's. You will need them if you want a decent salary.
Read this and then do it.
Scroll to the top to see you are on the forums page. Next to that is the 'Home' page. Select that and scroll down to the very bottom where you will see 'vacancies' as one of the many PCS selections. Select 'vacancies' and you will be at 'Careers at PcSpecialists'. I do not know the exact job you wanted but apprenticeships are not mentioned. I would not say any of those jobs were paid enough to be called career jobs apart from possibly the Business Development Manager and you do not have the experience for that.
By all means have a chat with PCS to see what sort of career prospects they could offer in a years time but also do this with other companies.
Me? I've been through all this and am now retired. Best of luck.

To start your journey towards an apprenticeship, I'd recommend reaching out to the company directly. Send them an email or give them a call to inquire about any available positions or apprenticeship programs.

I'll give you three pieces of advice, which apply to any job you may want to go after. I'm 73 years old having spent a lifetime in IT, including running my own IT consultancy business.

1. Experience is everything. Nobody will hire you and then train you. Yes, that's a bit of a Catch 22, so you need to be prepared to spend several years working in jobs you don't want in order to gain the experience you need to apply for the job you do want. Nothing in life comes easy, nor does it come quickly, so don't expect to land your dream job straight out of school.
   
   
2. Qualifications matter. Not only do they show that you have studied the subjects relevant to the job to a high level, but they also show that you posses the discipline to complete the coursework, that you can work under pressure to pass the exams, that you can do research, that you can write reports, and that you're smart enough to cope with the demands of the job. Do not expect to leave school with no qualifications and land a dream job, you're unlikely to even be called to interview.
   
   
3. Whilst experience and qualifications are essential, what will get you the job is the interview. You must develop good interpersonal skills, you must be able to converse succinctly and intelligently, you must also show that you can think on your feet. You must show that you have the skillset the job requires, that may involve answering many technical questions to test you. They may ask questions which they know you can't answer - just to see how you think when under pressure. I always did that when interviewing people. The interview will also let them see whether they like you - that's important - and whether you will be a good fit into their workforce - that's important too.

You have plenty of time at age 15 to develop in those three key areas; Experience, Qualifications, Interview skills. I wish you well. Be positive. Be outgoing. Be a self-starter. Be honest.
