Hi All,
Sorry for the delay, but my Fiance was accepted for the course. she got her email about 2 weeks ago or so. She was just asked to reply to accept their offer.

Hangballlouie · 25-08-2010 9:19pm

I got my offer yesterday, so looking forward to starting.:)

fasttalkerchat · 26-08-2010 7:28pm

Ooh well done. I was talking to Stephen today and he said we will get some info in the post this week.

What are you guys doing for accommodation?

What would you like to know exactly?

See here for info from Lidl regarding the degree...http://www.lidl-degree.ie

crusifixio2000 · 19-03-2011 9:03am

I would like to know how many people that have applied, and what you think might be the outcome. Does it worth it at all going for Lidl-degree?

Only Lidl will know how many have applied. In my opinion it certainly would be worth applying for a place on the course, considering that participants get a salary to study as well as their collage fees paid for. Also at the end you have a great opportunity to get hired.

I applied in April and received an email inviting me to the recruitment day in Mullingar on the 7th of July, has anyone else received this email?? I'm undecided as to what to do, not sure if I want to spend another 3 years in college!

I got the same email inviting me to the recruitment day in Dublin on da 21st of July. Its not gonna be an easy task as the course is difficult and also you'll be working part time. Furthermore, hundreds of applicants applied this year and Lidl only need like 30-40 people to sponsor, so being the best will be crucial!. What I'll say to you is that you ll reap what you sow, and that is success in future!

What do you think that Lidl invited you to the recruitment day? What special about you? what are the qualifications that you have at the moment? work experiences etc?

maelaw · 02-07-2011 10:21am

I got an email to go to the recruitment day in newbridge on the 8th of July. I still don't know whether to go or not. I don't know if I want to do another 3 years in college. I have worked for Lidl too and it is hard work they expect a lot from you. You definitely earn your wages!!

looking at the graduate jobs lidl are offering it wouldnt be a bad idea at all.

50k and an audi A4...going up to 80K after 3 years...

you hear about all these high paying jobs, guess what you earn it. they ain't paying that money for nothing. they'll bleed every penny fron you. bye bye free time. bye bye hobbies.

The_Conductor · 02-07-2011 11:11am

There is an incredible amount of work involved- certainly- and you will use the A4 travelling between branches more than anything else- but it is a good job, even if the hours are eye watering. If you're expecting a cakewalk, its not for you.

You are not going to get an Audi A4 this time. The recession has made its impact. Its is going to be difficult as you ll have to studing and working at the same time.

My advice is: If you re not strong enough, a quitter and will not give 150% of yourself and work ethics towards any job. then lidl is not for you

Work and collage are separate, they are done in blocks. For example; in collage for 3 months and no work. Finish collage, then work for 3 months with no collage. This trend continues for the duration of the degree. Approx 2.5 years.

Audi cars are for middle and top management positions. Staff at store level do not get them.

vector · 05-07-2011 12:49am

>most companies will pay all the fees, or a contribution towards them, for any staff members who elect to do 3rd level courses (the level of reimbursement is normally related to whether the course is relevant to the job or not). Its an excellent way of incentivising staff

I never know what to think about this argument...

On the other hand you see, a boss might think "ah if we get young Johnson to do a Masters on our dime, he will high tail it across town to our competitor"

training people to leave???

but then again my view of employers is negative, i do not see them as benevolent

The_Conductor · 05-07-2011 2:03am

Its fully tax deductable from a company's perspective- so not only does it incentivise staff, but there is zero net cost associated with it (other than time off for the staff member for study/exams etc)

Seen a piece about this in the Sunday Indo toady.

Can't seem to find any mention of the 50K or the Audi on the website anymore though!

http://www.lidl-degree.ie/cps/rde/xchg/SID-70540ADC-51BD1AFA/lidl-degree/hs.xsl//index.htm

Anyone know if they've changed the salary and benefits?

There never was a connection between a 50k salary and the Audi company car with this degree programme.

However, following completion of the degree you would be in a favourable position to be hired and work towards getting promotion to role with benefits including the salary of 50k and the company car.

The salary is phase 1 16k, phase 2 18k, phase 3 20k.

Anyone no when the closing date for this is this year. Currently work in retail and see this has an opportunity to further myself.

Any tips for someone who has applied for this, please ?

rosepetal_irl · 07-06-2012 12:22pm

I got the email today saying I'm in the recruitment stage too. Not sure what I think now after reading all the comments about it but anyway I'll give it a go. Would be great if somebody would actually tell you what goes on...it's all well and good saying you do a group session, tests etc....I want examples!!!!!

ldil · 07-06-2012 4:52pm

I also got an invatation to the recruitment day

If any past applicants or current students could be kind enough to reply and let me (us!) know what the following will entail ?

"The recruitment day will comprise of a company presentation, a short aptitude test, personal test and a group activity."

Thank You.

I am really looking foward to this. It would be such a great opportunity to get to work for Lidl.

Flobox · 09-06-2012 2:37pm

Hello,

I received an email invited me to the recruitment day on the 11th of July.

Looking for advice from people currently attending the programme or anyone who knows what goes on during the recruitment day.

Anyone else here going to the recruitment day in DBS on the 11th?

ciajewia · 11-06-2012 10:00am

Hello, I recieved an e-mail inviting me to the recruitment day on the 12th of July? Is anyone else going on the 12th? Does anyone know what the team activity and tests will be like. And what are the interviews like?

stock> · 20-06-2012 10:51pm

Anyone graduated yet?? how was the course? Was it difficult working as well??

galteeboy · 21-06-2012 10:19am

So does anyone know what the tests on the recruitment day consist of and what the interview is like? There is surely someone from previous years who can tell us about it.

Any info would be great.

Well having worked for Lidl for 5 years let me tell you that you will earn every cent of it.

do female staff have to work hard, such as lifting heavy boxes etc etc inquiring for a friend, she is single but small about 5'1 and wants to know if it is too demanding for her , thinks she wants to do this degree thing as well. cheers

Not normally but they would have to be able to move bulk pallets such as the bottled water and do a few pallets of fruit and veg occasionally. It depends from store to store. The more you can do the more chance you have of progressing.

would you advise her to go for it, she is a very small lass, & because of this putting herself down. i think she assumed at first it was only till work and putting labels on shelves etc. I do think if it was a fairly physical job she would struggle big time but i must give her support so haven't said this to her.

I take it she's applying for store assistant? They might take someone on on a 10 hour contract just to cover tills it depends on the store really.

i think she was hoping more like in tesco/super valu here you get a 40 hr week on the tills only plenty of staff to do the other work in the store, in lidl it appears to me as a customer that one day you are on the tills, next horsing bottles of water, heavy items on special flat packs etc onto shelves, back breaking work it appears, mostly women in my lidl some men in stores i suppose, but my girl would struggle honestly with that
maybe best suited to another job

Usually the men work mornings to pack out the delivery. I know one girl who could pack out fruit and veg every morning but not many can. If she would be struggling with physical work then it would be better to take a pay drop and go for tesco or similar where you would only do tills have guaranteed hours and set working times.

Lidl Degree??
