Yeah they seem to have made an error in the application form, after I applied to "Birmingham" it became London (Brentford) on the application portal.

How did you find the video interview? I think the puzzles will be the same as Amazon, but this is the first time I've had to do a video interview for anything


Puzzles are different to amazon, it's only one with shapes and stuff and I reallllly disliked it. The video interview was fine, that was the more enjoyable part of it all. It was also my first time basically doing a video interview, as this has all been my first time doing any apprenticeship applications

Thanks for the reassurance, was bummed since I probably didn't get amazon and just scrambled to find other stuff still open

Understandable, there's not too much open anymore. I'm also having to fall back on this one (I applied a while before though, before amazon even)

I wish you luck with your application process!!

In one of their emails they stated that they would start inviting people to the assessment centre by February or March.
Once I emailed them regarding my application, they said that they were still looking at my application so I'm assuming that the assessment centre will be in March.

I am doing it and I did the puzzle assessment a few days ago, I am going to do the video interview tonight. unsure if u mean complete a section and stop or quit after one video interview question. like Jo.nathan3.0 said best to do in 1 sitting, but it's possible to do puzzle and video separately. hope that clarifies :smile:

if im not mistaken applications ends in 4 days, however they said i can take the assessment within 5 days of applying and they send me an email that i had 48 hours the day after i applied, so its possible you cant do the assessments afterwards even if u applied before the deadline. just finished my video interview, man i stumbled a bit on my words and cogs had to turn for 10 secs in 2 questions but overall okay. i also got "above average" on game assessment but that could be top 51% who knows lol can only pray video goes well

I liked the interview more. I did the mistake of doing the assessment when I was tired so I got below average on the assessment I think 😅 I hate assessments like that though so maybe I was naturally bad. I don't think it was a fair assessment though but oh well.

By fair I mean assessed more than one thing. It was my least favourite assessment I did for CS

yeah that's true halfway through some of the puzzles just felt dodgy and i kinda did random dots, I preferred the amazon one with memory and stuff it was a more fun experience

IK this is probably the wrong thread but when I search up cybersecurity apprenticeship only sky comes up for me on TSR. I am assuming yall will apply for the gov one too? It says currently closed and will open shortly for 2024 entry, is this correct or did they make a mistake and applications were open before?

I have been checking the gov one like everyday since I saw it and it still says not open. So I think it is closed till march so fairly soon.

I'm hoping to apply. I'm assuming they're opening early March at this point or literally the last day of February
