I just wanted to make a thread of people apply to the apprenticeship. Who's where in the application process, any advice?

Scroll to see replies

I applied to the apprenticeship. I applied for the one in Leeds, QM and also ADA collage. I have done the online assessment and I am preparing for the interview currently. What about you? Have you head anything? Also, I heard that you want to relate to the company but I don't know how to prepare for this. Never been in this situation. :smile::smile:

Hi, am currently on the video interview stage, I've applied to the QM and Leeds course, I heard the question were very situational, and different to the traditional "what is your greatest weakness" questions.

Hi, took about 5-6 days for them to get back to me, the interview was a bit tricky wasn't it? I hope they consider you, best of luck!

Good luck for tomorrow! I applied to the study-first program, so I applied to Queen Mary university and Leeds, I assume you applied to Ada College? Btw, I recommend you research on some recent tech issues for your interview.

Yes Ada college! I applied for work first with Manchester and thank you for that tip, I’m currently researching stuff to prepare. It says it takes around 45 minutes would you say that’s accurate?

Yeah 45 minutes is about right, if you use up all the time, you can probably get away with spending 30+ minutes on it, however I recommend you use up all the time. You are also allowed notes, just don't be too obviously looking at them. A small glance is ok!

What he said about using all the time I didnt have to use all the time. I made sure I took the little time we had to prepare to make concise points about what I will say.

Mines was the 28th of feb, it’s the work first model I’ll assume bc it’s not tied to a university it’s different

Not yet I did it a few days ago so I guess either end of this week/ next week a response
Hello All,

For people who have finished the career focus day, did you all join the preparation session. I did manage to fill out the google form for that but have not received any update on that so far. I think mine is today around 5 pm ( forgot what time I picked up , assuming that I will get an email with details). Any one else knows how and when the link to join comes.

Next question - I saw in this thread that some unis might give option to select another course if Pwc rejects. Does anyone knows if that the case with Queen Mark London as well. How can I find out.
