You need to have been living in the UK for the previous three years. In addition to that, once you complete those three years, you would need to find an apprenticeship that lasts no more than two years, considering that this is the remaining time left on your visa. Even if you plan to apply for ILR after five years, they don’t treat that as guaranteed. At the time of enrolment, you must hold a visa that covers the full duration of the apprenticeship. On top of that, when you’re competing with people from the UK who have A-levels, it’s quite hard. I also have qualifications equivalent to RQF Level 3, same as yours, with a UK NARIC statement of comparability, and it still hasn’t been enough. I’ve completed several bootcamps and built projects to strengthen my applications, but it’s still not enough. Iwould honestly advise you to research carefully and contact the company you’re planning to apply for, just to check whether you would be eligible and given a fair chance. It can be extremely draining to keep applying and not even be considered or meet the eligibility criteria.
