How easy is it to get into this apprenticeship scheme? - my qualifications and experience are more than sufficient but I think I kind of screwed up my interview :frown:

Mine was telephone interview but I'm worried I did talk enough about my previous experience and enthusiasm for the apprenticeship...

It was a few years ago that I did mine (we didn't have a telephone interview). The first year I applied I didn't get in, I think it was due to answering a multiple choice quiz how I thought they wanted it, rather then truefully. Based on that, you should be good so long as you answered correctly, adding bits in may not have helped

Hi, when did you hear back about getting a telephone interview, and when did you have the interview?
My boyfriend has applied this year and he's yet to hear anything. I'm starting to get worried!

I received an email invite on 24 March to book a telephone interview online. There are/were various times available and I booked mine for 7 April. Check your spam folder...?

As in you've almost finished the 3 years?

Relax, you've been doing the job so should know what's up, plus the sm probably already knows you
