How to Apply for a Fast Track Apprenticeship

Fast Track Apprenticeship Online Tests

There are several online tests that you are required to sit if you want to get a Fast Track Apprenticeship Scheme. Tests can only be administered using a laptop or desktop computer, and not a mobile phone or tablet. 

Fast Track Verbal and Numerical Reasoning Tests

These tests assess your ability to answer different verbal questions and solve math problems under time constraints. The numerical exercise contains 24 questions, and the verbal exercise contains 36 questions, to be completed in six minutes per exercise. 

Situational Judgement Questionnaire

This questionnaire assesses your ability to effectively make judgements when you are presented with scenarios you may face whilst working as a Fast Track apprentice. The situational judgement questionnaire contains 20 scenarios and is not timed, but you should give yourself approximately 20-30 minutes to complete it.

Competency Questionnaire

This questionnaire assesses the qualities that are most relevant to the Fast Track Apprenticeship scheme. It contains 54 questions and is not timed, but like the situational judgement questionnaire, you should make sure you have approximately 20-30 minutes to complete it.

If you applying under the Guaranteed Interview Scheme (GIS) you will not have to sit the verbal and numerical reasoning tests.

After you have completed the online tests, and if your scores are high enough, you will be invited to the Fast Track assessment centre.

At the assessment centre, you will complete various tasks: a group task, a written task, and a strengths-based interview. You may be asked to complete an additional assessment as well.
