BT SE Degree apprenticeship 2023

W/Salaam
It really should not take that long. I got my offer in just a few days after AC alhamdulillah. They gave me a call to notify me about it. Please make that you've checked your junk mail and all your voicemail in case you missed. Hope this helps.

Edit: You can also email them to be sure.

alhamdulillah BT finally replied with an offer. For anyone still waiting for BT to get back to them dont lose hope it took BT almost 2 months after the assessment center to get back to me

mashaAllah bro! Massive congratulations

Thanks bro i appreciate it, what location did you apply for?

Salaam,
Anyone got offer for Ipswich?

wsalaam, they still havent gotten back to me

I already got an offer alhamdulillah. I was trying to see if I could find anyone joining me.

Yh bro. Due to start Sep 2023 insha'Allah. I applied a while ago actually. The last stage is an assessment centre which is done virtually.

Edit: fine --> done

what was the assessment centre like? did you have to do a group exercise?

The assessment center starts of with an induction, where everyone joins the call and get a briefing of what the day will be like. the first activity for me was the group task, you are given 50 minutes to read some content about a scenario (scenarios vary) and after you get 20 mins to discuss it with the other people in your group. my group was 4 people including me. try to stay engaged in the conversation even if you dont know whats going on. at soem point in my conversation i didnt know what they were talking about icl but i just started asking questions and thats what kept me engaged.

the second activity is similar to the group task but its a 1 to 1 with an assessor. you are given some content to read dont remember how log i got i think like 25 mins, then the assessors will begin to ask you questions about the situation. for me i was was given a manager at a cinema and the content was just a bunch of information about the cinemas performance, the assessor was mainly asking questions about how the cinema was performing and what i think could be done to improve, things like that. in this stage icl you cant waffle your way out of this one, actually read and understand the content. if you get a question which you cant answer, ask the assessor to rephrase - happened to me but after he rephrased i was able to answer the question.

the last activity is a 1to1 interview, easiest part, you have someone asking you questions similar to the video interview questions we got at the start of the application process. things like what would you do in this situation, give me an example of you showing resilience etc (make sure you use STAR to answer the questions its really helpful). Honestly, idk about anyone else but the interviewer i got was a nice guy so didnt feel like an interview more like a conversation. try to be yourself dont over do it and act like you're someone your not.

this is what my assessment center was like, i doubt it would be too different but you will definitely get a different scenario, hope it helps

jazakallah khairan, that was incredibly helpful. Was this done virtually or in person?

when is your AC and what degree is it for and where is it based?

Hey, I got through to the online assessment center stage of the BT apprenticeship, was wondering if anyone has got to this stage too. in addition, ive never done an assessment center before so any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated

Don't want to pour cold water on your parade, but BT use a company called QA to provide their SE apprenticeships.
QA is hopeless. One of the biggest digital apprenticeship providers in the UK and surely the worst. Totally disorganised.
I know from personal experience.
