I applied for the BT Engineering Apprenticeship twice within the last two years and I'm still waiting to hear back from that, however I applied to Openreach directly for open Engineering vacancies and they got back to me within 2 weeks, after this phase I was invited to a hub day in Preston which consisted of two interviews and a manual dexterity test. After the testing phases were done I heard back within two days and was successful, week later I was offered a position and start date of 7th September this year. I wanted to initially go through an Apprenticeship scheme as I am only 20, although in my previous employment I was a trainee telecom's technician so I have previous experience. Openreach train you regardless very similar to the Apprenticeship. Anyway just wondered if anyone else is in the same situation, my advice as well to those wanting to do Engineering based work is to apply for Openreach Engineering vacancies as you may have a better chance compared to an Apprenticeship.

Best of luck all!

I applied for the open reach engineer. I applied and I thought I missed this years, like 2weeks after applying they invited me to a hub day and then a week after that told me I was successful. But I genuinely think I was asked because someone dropped out the hub so it was luck they mailed me a week before the hub and I had to prepare a presentation and interview logical thinking and things within a week!!!

I'm stoke, and I suppose your right I never thought of that actually 😂 Can you remember your weekly wage because I can't find the application myself, I imagine if we're both engineers we will get the same wage? Haha

I have no idea of the wage, if I remember it's like between 12-14k yearly? But I assume all that will be on the contract which I am desperate to have now hahaha!!
