Amazon Apprenticeship Application Stages — Everything You Need to Know
Here is every stage of the Amazon Apprenticeship application process — what happens, in what order, and what you need to do to pass each one.
Online Application Form
Complete your personal details, academic grades, and motivational questions. This is where you answer why Amazon and why this programme. Application window: Roles posted year-round — technology roles in autumn, operations roles ongoing.
Prep tip
Answer motivational questions specifically — not generically. A specific reason for choosing Amazon over a generic 'I want to work in the sector' answer makes an immediate difference.
Online Assessments
Workstyle assessment and online aptitude tests
Prep tip
Practice with real providers (SHL, Korn Ferry, Cubiks) before the test date. Don't attempt on a mobile or slow connection.
Video Interview
Amazon uses HireVue for initial screening — questions are explicitly framed around Leadership Principles
Prep tip
Record yourself answering a practice question and watch it back. Fix filler words, posture, and pacing before the real thing.
Assessment Centre
Held at a Amazon office. Typically includes: Behavioural interviews using Leadership Principles, Work simulation exercises.
Prep tip
Prepare STAR stories for all competencies before the day. The assessment starts when you walk in — be professional with everyone you meet.
