best leave the wiring side alone, re the test just practical testing of your knowledge

I had my colour vision test and unfortunately I didn't get in. The test is on a board with various colour combination of wires on connectors and given 20 questions to answer them all correct and I got 3 incorrect, it had to be 100%. Gutted but not given up.

Sorry to hear this. I remember when I started my apprenticeship one poor lad didn't declare he was colour blind and was kicked of the course on the second day. Unfortunately it's pretty much essential to identify all the wires correctly, for your safety if nothing else.

Hi guys, I have the telephone interview tomorrow and was sent a heating diagram which says will be needed for the first multiple choice question. I can see a couple of floors in it already so interested to hear what the question will be.

If anyone knows as to what the other questions are about I could do with all the help I can get. I've always got flustered in multi choice, written exams with badly worded questions and ambiguous answers so the thought of doing it over the phone with a stranger is adding to the anxiety a bit. I know I've left it late it's 10am tomorrow, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and good luck everyone else going through the same. Cheers

Hello all,

Any recent updates to this thread from what I would guess would be people nearly through the apprenticeship by now?

I have my telephone interview this Thursday for an Apprentice Service and Repair Engineer located in Northampton. I applied using their website on the 9th, and heard back via email on the 12th asking my to book a telephone interview.

Just wondered how everyone else that made it is getting on now

Just had my phone interview and he told me I had passed, but all applications are reviewed by a higher team, so they would get back to me.

I think that is a polite way of saying I didn't pass
