thanks man

byrner88

is this only for school leavers or for anyone? anyone more information on this??

common sense brigade

application forms for apprenticeship are open to all

byrner88

printed out the application but some of the questions seem to be missing anytime i print it off. will this hinder my application ? even though i know the questions. i did use different printers but still the same problem

common sense brigade

no just write anything you are missing on the back of the application page and you should be ok. good luck

Hi, I have received a date for the aptitude test for this apprenticeship, can anyone tell me what to expect and study for it?

stephenk123

^^^^ fair play mate, where do you have to do it.

jacksflaps

it's in Bolton Street, Dublin 1 on the 16th of April. Really want to get some research done for it, but I can't find anyone who knows what's on it.:(

I've also got a letter to attend the aptitude test on April 16th, but are there any other times other than 12:00 for the aptitude test?

jacksflaps

Yeah I'm in at 9:00am on the 16th, maybe it's single interview kinda things?

Heres a sample aptitude test my mate sent me, I should point out this is a very simple aptitude test

jacksflaps

Yeah I'd like to find that out myself. Cheers man, this will help a lot, if I hear anything else about it I'll be sure to let you know.

Dazzler88

i also done it in Bolton street on Saturday at 10.30 . was handy enough . i taught the time given was sufficient, but some people didnt i guess we're all different. lets hope i get the call in july for the interview stage

accordsir-t

well byrner i was talking to some of the people after mine at 12.00 in bolton street on 16 april and they thought the timeline was kinda short althought the questions were pretty basic for the numeric and the verbal. i thought the spaces part of the test the timeline was short:rolleyes::rolleyes:

stephenk123

can you bring a calculator for the maths

accordsir-t

no pal no calculators allowed its ok not to hard just read the questions carefully;) when are you up i heard we wont get confirmation until july

stephenk123

im on at 12 tomorrow man

Philush

Dazzler88

accordsir-t

Not all tests are designed to give ye enough time. some will look to see how many questions/problems you can solve in the shortest amount of time.
