yeah, think mine finishes around 12:45. and do you know any more on the role other than its training for 6 years then you can put in a preference for what job you want?


You'll make a job role decision in week one, and that is the job you will have for the 6 years (and ideally beyond)

The idea is that all the apprentice roles are quite niche, and you train in that job for 6 years to fill a skills gap, not so much that you sit there twiddling your thumbs for 6 years then everyone rushes off to the test track. It just doesn't happen like that.

If you do get a job role you don't like (it's prioritised on AC performance) then you can apply for internal vacancies as any other employee of JLR would, but the job role for 6 years as an apprentice is the only "guaranteed" job you'll get within the company.

I wouldn't say easy, I guess you just have to be confident. There's 4 parts to it; Group Exercise, Practical, 1-to-1 interview and Role Play.

The best advice I could give you is to remember the company policies and try to reflect that in all your answers etc.

I had the assessment centre on the 8th February and I've not heard anything back yet. The lady did say that there had been 6,500 applicants for the role and only 400 had been invited to the assessment centre - from there they'll be recruiting 200 apprentices.

Best of luck to you and anyone else that reads this.

Not heard back yet. Still waiting. Probably the worst part :'(. And the day was alright. Just be yourself. Enjoy it and have a laugh with the assessors.

Took me 5 months to hear back. The earlier your assessment centre, the longer your wait generally.

I know you'll get told this a lot. But I get over nervous and the best thing I did was literally just enjoy the day. There's pastries and cookies and stuff on offer so just eat and drink a bit. Anything to get your mind focused on something. Super helps :smile:
