I applied for the Electro-Mechanical degree apprenticeship on Monday, should get the email for the online tests this week. What are they like? How long after you completed them did you get the email saying you were successful at that stage?

I applied on the 14th Jan, got the link for the tests the next day. It's easy stuff, personality section, motivation section, learnability section, and situational judgment.

It basically gave you different statements and you had to say if it's most like you, or least like you. Make sure you're aligning with the companies values and what skills the job is looking for. The learnability section had to answer some patterns and reviewing some table data.

2 days after I completed it I got an email with a PDF attached with some feedback (the feedback doesn't tell you if your successful or not).

I then received an email yesterday saying that I've been successful in the testing and they are continuing to review applications before inviting people to the assessment centre.

I got the feedback on the 23rd January, and found out I passed February 4th.

Thanks! and I think they’re still considering other candidates as they said this in my email. “We are delighted to let you know that you have been selected in our first group of candidates to attend an assessment with us.” They said I’m in their first group so they should be sending out more invitations.

However I did check the role details on gov.uk site and it said that there are 2 positions available for the swe role, so its going to be pretty competitive.

did my AC yesterday and it went really well, interviewers were really happy with me and said I’ll get final decision in 1-2 weeks. within 18 hours I received an email saying I got rejected and I assume it was because of security clearance, I’m not a british national and have limited duration on my visa.

to be eligible for apprenticeship funding you have to have a visa that covers entire course duration without getting it renewed lol
