A quick look at the application process

Applying to become a Royal Mail apprentice involves three steps.

The first step is to complete the online application form. This link will take you to our Search and Apply page, where you should select ‘Apprentice’ under ‘Occupation Type’, and then ’Search and Apply’ for details of all the jobs available and to apply.

You’ll then be invited to take a few online tests which you can complete from home.

If you’re successful, we’ll invite you in to attend a short interview with one of our experienced managers, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions about your job role and development programme, so you can be sure that the Apprentice Scheme is right for you.

We’ll then get back to you within seven days to let you know whether or not you’ve been successful.

“I was 18 when I joined Royal Mail as a postman – back in 2004. I liked the idea of being out and about in the fresh air, and not being stuck at a desk from 9 to 5.”
