    New on here son has applied this year again interview done so far waiting game now. Good luck to everyone. I wonder how many they take on like e.g. if you selected a depot in a particular region how many positions are available for apprentices in that particular location. End of august we were told when we'd hear back.

    Hi, been following this thread for a while , my partner has applied for esb apprenticeship this year and did the aptitude etc. He was told via email that he would hear back in june after the shortlisting. he received that shortlisting email twice like others in this thread but has not heard back if it is a yes or no for interview and it is now july. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat?

    I know some dublin areas and midlands areas had interviews this week and last. Not sure what order of region interviews are in. Looking back on threads here some in past years were waiting on medicals while others were already offered the apprenticeship. The fact you havent heard yet means still in with a chance of been called. Its an awful slow process for the amount they actually take on in the end. Hope you hear some news soon sometimes no news is good news. Best of luck

    Anyone else had to redo aptitude tests after the interview, Got an email yesterday to ask me to redo some of them again. Would this mean I have passed interview stage?

    I know it says that some maybe selected to redo aptitude tests. To me its a sign your in the running anyways if your interview wasnt succesfull id reckon there not going to bother putting you through resit aptitudes again so take it as a good sign. It be a pain having to resit but from what i heard i think its only parts of the previous tests. I think they just check scores that they arent massive differences.Did you get much notice for it, when is it would it give you enough time to practice them again. Eitherway best of luck.

    Thank you. Done now! I got an email on Tuesday evening to have them done by today. Not much time to practice and I hadn't looked at them since doing them the first time. I had to repeat 2 sections.

    No some get selected to resit aptitude tests not everyone. You probably wont hear anything until mid to end of august thats what my son was told. Medicals next stage id reckon theyll be mid august provided covid doesnt play hell with things again. Best of luck everyone. If anyone gets any updates sure let us know.

    Yeah i was told the offers will be given out in a month or two aswell.

    I was talking to a buddy and he reckons they send more tests to people who are applying for a area with high demand and they take the highest scores from those tests.

    I dont think it will be july anyways maybe after august bank holiday. Hoping medicals would be mid august with offers sent end of august thats how it would go in a normal year . Hopefully soon. Its exactly a month since my sons interview this week. Its a long wait but tk god for boards here or else youd hear nothing we can all keep each other updated with news.

    My buddy got email today thanks but no thanks gutted for him he has tonnes of experience and he said interview went really well. He said he's done with applying to esb that was his 2nd time very frustrated . Luckily he has already started apprenticeship a few months in now. What are they looking for. This lad ticked all the boxes.
