Your Journey to Becoming a Sky Apprentice

We’ve made our application process simple and transparent – here’s what to expect:

Step 1 – Apply Online

Complete our short application form with your basic details, education, and any relevant experience. Quick and easy.

Once your application has been submitted, you’ll be invited to complete our immersive digital assessments. This may land in your junk folder so don’t forget to check it.

Step 2 – Digital Assessment

Next, you’ll complete our online digital assessment. This short assessment is designed to understand your knowledge of Sky, our products, and the role you’re applying for. It helps us get a feel for how you think and how you might approach real scenarios at Sky.

Before you begin, you’ll have the opportunity to complete a practice version. We strongly recommend taking this practice assessment and carefully reading the instructions we’ve sent by email, so you know exactly what to expect.

We’ve also included helpful tips to support you and help you feel confident going into the assessment.

We understand that you might want to utilise AI to support your preparation for taking the assessments – understanding Sky etc. But we ask that you complete the assessments themselves without the assistance of AI.

Step 3 – Virtual Assessment Centre

The final stage is a digital assessment day. You’ll take part in group discussions, an individual interview, and programme-related exercises. After that, we’ll let you know when to expect feedback.
