Civil Service Fast Track Apprenticeship Scheme 2015

Can I ask the people who've received offers, what time of day did you get the email or text?

Just rang Capita having attended the assessment centre on the 23rd of April, to be told that just because we haven't heard anything yet, it doesn't mean we aren't successful as they are still awaiting results from some locations/frameworks apparently. A lot were sent out last week, but those who didn't hear back should expect to hear within the next 2 weeks?!! I was told 10 days two weeks ago!

Still haven't had an email confirming my acceptance email was received...

Does anyone know how much we'll be getting paid - I didn't dare ask at the assessment centre!

Cheers

Minimum of £19,500 dependant on department and location, so I'd expect the Northern cities and Scotland to be on the lower end of the scale and London to be on the higher end.

Where did you apply to?

Do you have any idea what the maximum would be? I'll probably be in London so just curious...

I accepted on Thursday and got nothing back so I rang this afternoon and the lady on the phone checked and they had got my email but were inundated with emails so hadn't had chance to read and reply to them all yet!

Yorkshire so I'm hoping for Leeds - I just thought that seemed like a lot of money with the minimum wage for apprentices being £2.73 hr. I assumed, when I applied, that the £19,500 figure was once we'd fully qualified!

Honestly, I've no idea cause it varies on department but look these are apparently the DWP pay scales http://www.pcs.org.uk/download.cfm?docid=E39CEC99-D738-45D0-9C32E953698D894D

And as we're joining at EO level, going of that an London salary would be £24k but I don't think we'll get £24k in an apprenticeship. Best just to wait and see what they offer us.

I was looking at reviews on ratemyapprenticeship, and I'm pretty sure that some of the London based apprentices said they were earning around £26k +

Well if it's that high then it looks like I'm moving out, maybe that's after a year or two of experience though? Anyways it's probably best just to wait till it gets confirmed haha

I was looking on there too. Most people rate their apprenticeships pretty well, only bad thing they mention is poor tutoring/assessor support from Capita (no surprise there).

For London they seem to be earning £23k-£27k, which is actually not too bad. Makes me consider possibly moving to London instead of commuting, however I would still only be able to afford a flatshare.

Same here bud we need to go out and forget it all haaha
