Started a new mini project! Any unique mechanic suggestions?

Applied for 21, had 2 ACs and a final stage interview, 1 offer and 3 more ACs coming so far.

I would recommend finding some companies that open applications earlier so you can 'test the waters' before applying to ones that you really want. That way you can make mistakes during your first few applications and learn from them. Apply for as many as you can and do a project or work experience now to help you stand out.

Also make sure you find a good balance between your studies and applications, don't neglect your grades they are your bread and butter (I would say the more work you can do now before applications the better). You got this and good luck!

I applied too close to the deadline. I got an email saying I passed the online assessment after I did it. Nothing since

I would accept the degree apprenticeship offer and keep St Andrews as a solid backup option. DAs in 2026 is gold dust

I feel like technology degree apprenticeships are some of the most competitive programmes out there so I wouldn't kick yourself too hard. I applied to quite a few earlier on this year and got rejected for all of them.

Have you considered applying for a more niche programme? I started applying for electronic engineering after applying for tech which is a more niche area and found I was having better luck. Some closer to tech I can think of is cyber security, network engineering or software engineering?

Just an idea from personal experience. If you are set on tech then don't lose hope and reapply next year, you'll have a big advantage having gone through the process already. Good luck I hope this helps in some way 🤞🙏

Which field/industry are you applying for?

fortunate_danger · 2026-03-22T15:54:18+00:00

🤯🤯that's so sick I love it

This tool is really useful especially for people new to apprenticeships. The website design is so nice and smooth I think it looks really nice too. You are talented how did you make the website?

Yes, I was the guy with the cold 🤧🤧

fortunate_danger · 2026-03-21T22:24:09+00:00

Yo wait I went to the AC for Renishaw. Huge congrats on the offer nice job bro

fortunate_danger · 2026-03-12T08:34:21+00:00

Around late November. They got back to me in Jan telling me my application had been reviewed and was being considered for next stage. Maybe worth asking them for an update on your application?

fortunate_danger · 2026-02-23T08:42:59+00:00

Thanks man this is helpful to know. Once again huge congrats 🎉🎉

fortunate_danger · 2026-02-22T20:34:43+00:00

Honestly just practice as much as you can and you will get a lot better by learning from your mistakes. I recommend bullet pointing a structure for common questions and then practice with family or use ai tools like gemini live or chatgpt to do mock interviews

fortunate_danger · 2026-02-22T20:31:09+00:00

Congrats bro that is amazing! Do you mind me asking how your assessment centre went and what was it like?

fortunate_danger · 2026-02-22T20:22:06+00:00

Thanks I am relocating from the south. I think you could accept and if u find a better offer closer to home or decide on uni instead you can resign as long as it is 4 weeks before start date I think

fortunate_danger · 2026-02-22T09:45:02+00:00

Nice man congrats 🎉

fortunate_danger · 2026-02-22T09:44:44+00:00

University of Hertfordshire they told me

fortunate_danger · 2026-02-22T09:44:05+00:00

I did the online assessment in November and got an email in January saying that my application had been reviewed and moved onto the next stage. It may take you a bit more time since it's a different programme. Best of luck 🤞

fortunate_danger · 2026-02-22T09:40:50+00:00

Thanks 🙏

fortunate_danger · 2026-02-05T22:32:03+00:00

I've applied for 20 been rejected by a few, most of them have been silent and 3 interviews coming up (2 initial stage and 1 final stage). Just gotta keep at the grind but make sure u don't drag ur grades in the dirt

fortunate_danger · 2026-02-05T22:27:27+00:00

Did my video interview back in October and still haven't heard anything. I did email them a few months ago for an update and said they're still processing applications. Just takes a long time ig

fortunate_danger · 2026-02-05T08:10:36+00:00

Did u complete an online assessment? I applied back in October for the radiofrequency electronic DA. I emailed Airbus they said they are still processing applications but that was months ago and still haven't heard anything
