engineering apprenticeship in the UK

[daninLTN]

hi there guys/girls

[hoping that i have posted in appropriate forum]

now that this years application deadlines have come to / are coming to a close, i thought i would try and be a bit prepared

next year after completing my exams I am hoping to do an a/c maintenance apprenticeship at the age of 16
so firstly, would I stand a chance at getting in seeing as it is the minimum age?

and second - who is doing an intake for engineering apprentices in sept 09?

Thanks
