Level 4 apprenticeship at MOD vs Level 6 apprenticeship in private sector

Hi,

I’m exploring degree apprenticeships in project management at the moment and I’m wondering how significant the difference between a level 4 and level 6 apprenticeship is, and wether the level or the work experience is more beneficial for future employment?

I have found a level 4 apprenticeship with the MOD that really interests me and I think would suit me perfectly, however I am slightly put off by doing a level 4 apprenticeship when I would be eligible to do a level 6 apprenticeship. Is this unreasonable?

The MOD apprenticeship is a salary of £25,000, whereas private sector level 6 apprenticeships are £20k - £30k. However, the MOD apprenticeship is based in London (though I could commute by train)

The MOD apprenticeship is also only 2 years long, and doesn’t guarantee future employment in the MOD. Private sector level 6 apprenticeships tend to be 3-5 years long and intend to continue employment after the apprenticeship.

Any advice or information would be appreciated, thanks.
