Advanced Engineering Apprentice programme help!

Post by carree »

hey guys :)

Ive applied for the advanced engineering apprenticeship programme as when i read all the details on http://www.startyourjourney.net" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; it seemed like a good company to work for!
Anyways my assessment day is the 24th April, and im rather worried because since im nearly 21 and its been pretty much 5 years since ive been at school, safe to say ive forgot quite a bit! So i need to do some revision with maths, english etc.
I was just wondering what are the assessments like? They basic maths and english etc? or is it fairly hard to pass, any advice would be greatful as i really want this job and im putting alot of effort in at the moment!
Also i got an email saying i need to make sure i bring all the essential documents stated in another email that i haven't received?

Thanks, Adam

I wouldn't worry too much, I got an apprenticeship at 25. Age and experience can sometimes help
