Barclays Higher/Graduate Apprenticeships - 2021

Hello, apologies if there is already a post however I didn't see one so I wanted to make this.

I'm currently applying for the Glasgow Graduate Technology Developer (Software Engineering) apprenticeship and I am awaiting details of the final assessment phase.

Is anybody else applying for an apprenticeship with Barclays?

I have applied. Doing the assessment in a week or two.

I seen you on the JP Morgan thread, are you going for Glasgow technology developer? I got an email asking for my CV and was told somebody would be in touch but haven't heard anything yet, or do you mean the initial assessments?

Yeah. I have applied for the technology developer apprenticeship. I applied as soon as applications opened, after submitting my CV I heard back about 5 days after but I think it will vary based on number of people they have to respond to. For the assessment, I mean the final assessment centre.

As far as I know, there is no coding challenge but there might be one in a later stage than I am on, not sure.

I had no group activities, just two 45 minute sessions, the first being a technical challenge and the second being an interview.
