It's honestly, it's such a good scheme. Put your hand up for things, be enthusiastic, ask questions, just sort of make the most of it. I feel like the more you put in, the more you going to get out of it.

Application journey

    Time to submit your application on our system. We’ll be asking for your personal details, academic information and everything else that you think would be relevant such as work experience. That’s all there is to it.

  • Digital Assessment

    Once your application is in, we’ll ask you to complete our immersive digital assessment. They’re mostly situational questions and will also include a video interview. We’ll also ask you to complete a numerical reasoning test.

    We understand that you might want to utilise AI to support your preparation for taking the assessments – understanding Sky etc. But we ask that you complete the assessments themselves without the assistance of AI.
