What is the online test like for applicants for an apprenticeship or a dual study programme?

If we expect you to prepare for a certain subject, we’ll let you know about this by mail.
What does Applicant Day hold in store for me?
On Applicant Day we will invite you to one of our sites. You don’t need much preparation, as you can prepare all the exercises here on site.
To avoid unnecessary stress on the day, you should plan your journey and where to park etc. in advance. Add a bit of extra time in case you get stuck in a traffic jam or a train is cancelled.
On the day, we will explain everything to you in detail. You are of course welcome to ask questions at any time you like. Just be yourself, there is no need to put on an act for us. It’s the only way that we can really get to know you. We look forward to talking to you.
