Process, stage by stage

1. Online application

Create a profile, upload up-to-date CV, complete online form.

Use your one application for the programme you really want.

Official source source

2. Digital interview (Capgemini digital interview platform (vendor not named))

Answer questions on camera specific to your chosen area. Capgemini offers a demo with a team member explaining what to expect and mock questions. Questions are strengths-based (graduate guidance: 12-15 strengths questions in the process). Successful candidates go into an assessment-centre talent pool; not all progress.

Do the official demo and mock questions first.
Strengths-based: answer honestly about what energises you, not what you think they want.

Official source source

3. Assessment centre

Half day with a group exercise, a 1:1 strengths-based interview and, for the Digital & Technology apprenticeship, micro exercises (including a written information-analysis task and a prioritisation task) per Indeed's summary. Groups of 4-6 with ~15 pages of case material: ~10 min reading and ~30 min discussion (graduate-route report). Feedback call offered to every candidate who attends.

Collaborate: Capgemini says 'you're not competing against anyone else' and candidates must work together.
In the written micro exercise, summarise data concisely and state a recommendation.

Advice for this firm

The process is strengths-based, not competency-heavy: prepare what you enjoy and are energised by, with real examples, rather than rehearsed STAR scripts (Capgemini's own recruiters say it cannot be 'gamed').
Do the official digital interview demo before recording - it is built for this.
Expect a talent-pool wait after the digital interview; centre places are limited, so maximise that one recording.
At the centre, work collaboratively; ask assessors and mentors questions in the Q&A.
Take the post-centre feedback call if offered - reapply next season with it.

Not verified

No psychometric test is named in the official apprentice process; prep-site claims of SHL/Matrigma tests, an SJT and games relate to graduate/India routes and are excluded.
Digital interview question count and time limits for apprentices.
Several questions come from graduate/degree-apprentice aggregators with no dates; their recency is unknown.
The 2025-26 brochure PDF could not be parsed; entry requirements come from the apprenticeships page and listing summaries.
