You are not the only one, I applied for the Higher Apprenticeship and completed the online interview and still waiting for a response back from them.

That’s a relief tbh- they’re probably overloaded with applications at this point. When abouts did you apply? It’s coming up to nearly 2 weeks for me
I applied on the 12th March so around 3 weeks ago. Which locations did you apply at? I applied for the apprenticeship at their Knutsford site.

Hmm okay. I applied for London (Canary Wharf) site to do Tech. How did you find the video interview?

Oh right cool. I found that the video interview went ok but I thought I could of done better on how long i spent answering each question, I felt like I was rushing my answers but I was saying the correct things (well hopefully). I applied for the Vodafone Degree Apprenticeship too and I just completed an online video interview and I thought that went awful but I got an email yesterday stating that I have successful passed that stage and I'm onto the assessment centre. If that went terrible then surely there is some hope for Barclays!

Thank you! - I hope everything goes well with your Barclay's Application. Fingers crossed we get a response this week coming up! It is probably most likely this week I get a response as it has been around 2 weeks since I completed the Online Interview. When did you complete your Online Interview?

Yeah I’m hoping with Easter now that we find out! I completed mine on 23rd March (Saturday) so it’s the 3rd working week I guess since I’ve done it. I’m doing Accenture online app on Tuesday bc i finally heard back, and I’m waiting to see if my Deloitte one is accepted.

Oh right thats good, I hope everything goes well with all your applications. I applied for Accenture and then got an email next day saying I was unsuccessful. I have got a few applications on the line: Barclay's, Bentley, Amazon, AstraZeneca, MBDA and Vodafone. If all unsuccessful I have to resort to University which I have got a place for Computer Science but to be honest, I'd much rather go and do a degree apprenticeship.

I got an email today from Barclays saying I have been invited to the assessment day! I do not know how I go to this stage! Better not mess it up now or I will be annoyed. Have you heard back from them yet?

Well done! Haven’t heard back yet which is kind of frustrating but I did apply for foundation so unless they haven’t looked at those yet. Trying not to get too worried about it. Deloitte have let me through to video stage even though I was way below grade requirements which is kind of encouraging at least.

Thank you! Have you tried contacting HR for an update on your application? Nice, well done. I hope Deloitte goes well for you!

The assessment centre date is on Friday 24th May. I have been given a timeline by a friend who works at Barclays currently for the application process. I have attached a screenshot of the timeline to this message - I hope this helps!

Thank you for this! Just realised I’m on holiday for all of the AC dates so if I do get to go I’ll need to sort that out. Didn’t realise higher ppl start so early?

No problem. Yeah, I thought the same too because I don't get my A-level results till 14th August. Maybe the 29th July is the on boarding day where you submit your right to work documents and bank details etc.
