Yeah they should’ve emailed it to you when you got the assessment centre.

Data and Business Analysis (C20@L4) Networks and Hardware (C20@L4)
Software Fundamentals (C20@L4) Cyber Fundamentals (C20@L4)
Introduction to AI & ML (C20@L4) Mathematics, Statistics and Collaborative Research (C20@L4)
Cloud Architecture (C20@L5) Low Code Software Development (C20@L5)

During the latter 24 months, Microsoft Learners will then work on their own professional development and reflectively implement and report on workplace solutions related to their Specialism and Specialist taught modules, such as:
Requirements Elicitation for Business Improvement (C20@L5) Business System Design (C20@L5) IT Consultancy for Innovation (C40@L6)
All of this will be underpinned by a module focusing on Leadership, Management and Technology Strategy (C20@L6)
Thanks a lot! Good luck on the test! Hopefully will get my test date soon as well

guys dont worry dont worry, I got a call today saying i passed and they're giving me an unconditional offer. I was stressing the day before as well but I emailed one of the guys there and he said not to worry. I went in for the assessment day and it was better then I could have imagined. They have a maths and english test which is genuniely easy - year 6 maths, a technical test which is a form you have to fill out which is a bit hard but even though its an assessment day they dont expect you to get 100 percent - they want to see your starting point on how much you already know so they can prepare a learning plan for you so dw if you do bad just try get over 50 percent. I would advise going over the document they sent you about what the TDM degree digital technology apprenticeship offers you and what you like about TDM's approach and why you want to do the apprenticeship in the first place - but they also go over this on the actual assessmetn day for those who havent read it - but if you have read it your more confident in the interview becasue you know the gerneal outline of the course which is the only importantn thing. Other then that theres a swat test but thats nothing to prepare for - on the actual day the guys there are chill and theres no set timetable - they made one at the begninning but are flexible.

Congrats on the unconditional!! Thanks for the run down . Sounds like it was a chill day. Was the technical test multiple choice? And is it something we can really prepare for?

Mine is on the same day. I tried going over all the topics on the degree specification & understanding all of it

yup thats all you need to do - just know why you like the program and a few things about it and you will be perfectly fine.

it was multiple choice on a google form. You wont be able to prepare for it its just random stuff like what does dchp mean and random acrynomys and whats malware liek random stuff on those kind of lines - dont stress - genuinely just focus on reading the documetns on the TDM program they emailed you

Congrats! Thanks for the tips! So, have you had your tech test score straight away (as you said better to get 50% or more)? Now, no matter what, the place (unconditional) is yours? Will you get a contract now or it's going to be something else for checks/testing/etc?

Yea you get it straight away it's just on a Google form. Once you finish the day though a few days later they tell you whether you got in and then said contract and then you sign

I guess its a bit too late but have the applications for this year closed for good?
cause I know some companies who still have vacancies advertise them at a later time
does anyone know an email I can contact them through?

Yes, I know. We did the test on the 14th. How many days it took for them to get to you after the test?
7th march, but they told me earlier that I would get the contract in the next week so probably near end of feb
Have you heard anything back after the test?
Nah not yet. It’s only been 2 working days tho. I wouldn’t worry about it until Thursday.
