Apprenticeships are competitive — but with the right preparation, you can stand out from the crowd. Our programme is designed to give you the skills, confidence, and insight to impress employers and succeed at every stage of the application process.

Here’s how we help:

🎤 Interview Skills Coaching

We’ll show you how to answer common and challenging questions with confidence — whether it’s a one-to-one interview or a group task. You’ll take part in mock interviews and get personalised feedback to sharpen your technique.

📄 CV & Application Support

Most CVs get less than 10 seconds of attention. We help you craft applications that instantly show your strengths, potential, and passion for the role — whether you're applying through UCAS, directly to an employer, or via a recruiter.

💻 LinkedIn & Personal Branding

You don’t need a long work history to look professional online. We’ll help you build a LinkedIn profile that works for you — showcasing your interests, skills, and personality in a way that’s visible to apprenticeship providers and recruiters.

🧪 Mock Assessment Centres

Many top apprenticeships include group interviews, presentations, or timed problem-solving tasks. We prepare you with realistic simulations so you can walk into your assessment centre ready, calm, and confident.

🌟 Our Superstars

At Beyond the Blackboard, we’re all about celebrating success — and nothing makes us prouder than seeing our students take bold steps into their futures.

🎓 Top Apprentices

Each month, we spotlight students who have successfully secured apprenticeship roles after completing The Interview Room programme.

These are our Top Apprentices — role models for what’s possible with preparation, confidence, and the right guidance. You'll see where they landed, what they learned along the way, and their advice for others just starting out.

From digital marketing to engineering, retail to tech, these students prove that the apprenticeship route is full of opportunity.

🚀 Future Stars

We also feature recent graduates of our programme who are actively seeking an apprenticeship.

This space gives employers a first look at motivated, ready-to-go talent — and gives students a platform to showcase their skills, goals, and potential.

If you're a student looking for that first opportunity, this is your chance to stand out.
