They’re probably reviewing as they go or perhaps it’s good news it hasn’t updated yet! They usually reject people first I believe

I think there were around 15-20 total. The group task was done in teams of five.

I think it was something like 4 spaces in London, with an additional two at the BBC London studios, then 2 in Salford and a couple more in I think Glasgow and one other location? I'm sorry that I can't remember the exact numbers outside of London, but thats the bit that I was focused on!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been invited to the online assessment centre for the BBC Journalism Apprenticeship

I just wanted to ask if anyone could share what the format is like?
What does the assessment centre involve?
Is there an interview?
What should I expect from the group activity?
Any tips on how to prepare?

I’d really appreciate any advice or insight!
