The closing date for this year was in April, but as far as I know they run this every year, so keep an eye on their website early next year for the next run.

Thanks hopefully they'll get back to me soon, the waiting is killing me hah!

Well when i did the interview back in May they asked me questions like:

''What subjects did you do in school and what was your favorite/ least favorite?'' just tell them what you preferred, i said engineering

''What have you been doing since you left school?'' just tell them about any previous jobs or travelling abroad etc handy enough

''What are your hobbies?'' tell them what your interested in, sports, etc ... but i threw in relevant stuff to the trade such as driving, working on my own car, reading mechanic related books such as haynes manuals etc

''why do you want to do Heavy Vehicle mechanics and not light vehicle mechanics ie cars?'' ... i answered because i have an interest in driving heavy vehicles and how they work and would like to make a career working on buses in particular as with the price of fuel going up there will be more of a demand for public transport so therefore there will be more buses on the road in the future as more people will not be using their cars because of the cost to run them.

''Have you any previous experience working on cars etc? make sure you have something to say that you know about because he will scrutinize what you say so dont bull**** them!! i told them about servicing my own car and bike and doing oil changes and brakes etc ..if your not sure just google something!

''Have you worked as a team with other people?'' they like to see that you can work well with a group of people so say that you were part of a team in sports or a previous job and that you communicated well with everyone

they ask about health and safety too but its common sense!!

at the end they'll ask you, if you would like to ask them any questions? ... make sure you ask something as it will show your keen and interesed! i asked about what garages you could possibly be put into, what benifits come with the job and what are the hours...

hope that helped a bit, just go into the interview confident and show your keen and have a genuine interest in getting the job!! also be there nice and early as i got called in 20mins before my actual time slot,
well best of luck, let me know how you get on!
