πŸ‘‹ I Didn't Know Apprenticeships Existed

When I finished sixth form, the only path anyone really spoke about was university. Even my careers advisor pushed me in that direction.

Apprenticeships weren't explained properly. No one told me what they were, how they worked, or how to actually get one. So when I decided I wanted to go down that route, I had to figure it out myself.

I applied, got rejected, learned, adjusted, and kept going until I secured a Project Management apprenticeship.

πŸš€ I Made the Most of It

During my apprenticeship, I didn't just aim to get through it. I wanted to excel. So I took every opportunity that came my way β€” interviewed executive directors, had meetings with Members of Parliament, and became the Early Talent Representative for the Midlands.

That led to me being awarded Apprentice of the Year by the Association for Project Management, my company's Unsung Hero award, and being named a finalist for two other apprenticeship awards.

Alongside my role, I spent time delivering careers fairs, workshops, and assemblies in schools and colleges β€” speaking to students who were unsure, under-informed, and trying to work things out, just like I was.

πŸ’Ό I Now Sit on the Other Side

I completed my apprenticeship and started my role as an Assistant Project Manager in Major Projects in July 2025 and, in April 2026, I was promoted to Delivery Manager in Digital Services.

But, more importantly for you, I now also assess apprenticeship and graduate assessment centres.

That means I'm in the room when decisions are made. I see what gets candidates through and what gets them rejected.

I'm not guessing what works. I see it happen.

πŸ’‘ Why I Started The Apprentice Coach

After finishing my apprenticeship, it became obvious how much of a difference the right guidance would have made earlier on.

I realised I could take everything I'd learned β€” from applying, from succeeding, and from assessing β€” and use it to help others get ahead.

That's why I started The Apprentice Coach.

Since launching, I've worked with people who have gone from constant rejections to securing interviews and offers with companies like EY, BP, BBC and Beazley. But more importantly, they now understand how the process actually works.

🎯 What You Get From Me

I don't give generic advice.

Everything I teach comes from real experience β€” both going through the process myself and now assessing it.

Most people don't miss out because they aren't capable. They miss out because no one has shown them what is actually being looked for.

That's what I do.

How to Get an Apprenticeship

Four steps. Follow them and you'll go from not knowing where to start, to landing the role.

1

πŸ” Find an Apprenticeship to Apply For

Search the official UK platforms for roles that interest you

β–Ό
2

πŸ“„ Tailor Your CV to the Job Description

Match your CV to the keywords and requirements of the role

β–Ό

Don't send the same CV to every job. Employers use software to scan CVs for keywords from their job description β€” if yours doesn't match, it won't get read.

  • Read the job description carefully and highlight the key skills they're asking for
  • Use the same words and phrases in your CV β€” don't paraphrase them
  • Put your most relevant experience and skills near the top
  • Keep it to one page, clear font, no photos
  • Check spelling and grammar β€” errors are an instant red flag
πŸ“ Example β€” Matching Keywords

Job description says: "We're looking for someone with strong communication skills who can work well in a team and manage their own workload."

Your CV should say: "Demonstrated strong communication skills through [X]. Collaborated effectively as part of a team to achieve [Y]. Managed my own workload during [Z]."

🎀 Prepare for Your Interview

Use the AI Interview Tool to practise before the real thing

β–Ό

Once you've applied, it's time to prepare for your interview. The best way to do that is to practise answering questions out loud β€” not just reading them in your head.

πŸ€–

Copy the job description and your CV into my AI Interview Tool and it will generate tailored practice interview questions based on your specific application. Go through each question and prepare an answer β€” don't learn them word for word, but make sure you won't be caught off guard. The tool will also give you feedback on your answers.

  • Research the company β€” know what they do, their values, and any recent news
  • Prepare examples using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result)
  • Prepare a strong answer to "Tell me about yourself" and "Why this apprenticeship?"
  • Have a question ready to ask at the end β€” it shows genuine interest
  • Dress smartly and arrive (or log on) a few minutes early

πŸ† Prepare for Your Assessment Centre

Research, prepare examples, and practise with a mock session

β–Ό

Many apprenticeship programmes β€” especially at larger companies β€” include an assessment centre as the final stage. This is where most people fall down, but it's also where the right preparation makes the biggest difference.

  • Research the company back to front β€” values, strategy, culture, and recent projects
  • Prepare multiple examples from your experience for competency-based questions
  • Be ready for a group activity β€” show leadership and collaboration, not dominance
  • Presentations: know your content, keep it clear, and practise out loud
  • Written exercises: structure your answer, be concise, and manage your time
