How to Get Into the Deloitte Apprenticeship: Stage by Stage
The Deloitte BrightStart has an acceptance rate of around 3–5%. Here's exactly how to go from application to offer: stage by stage.
The Process, In Order
Online Application
Complete the application form: personal details, grades, and motivational questions. Application window: October–January for the following September start.
Online Assessments
Immersive online assessment: a scenario-based test combining numerical, verbal, and situational judgement in one integrated exercise
Video Interview
Strengths-based video interview: questions are about what you enjoy and what you're good at, not just STAR examples

What the Top Candidates Do Differently
- ✓Apply in the first two weeks of the window opening: roles fill on a rolling basis
- ✓Prepare 5–7 STAR stories before starting the application: you'll need them at multiple stages
- ✓Know Deloitte's business in detail, not just the sector. Deloitte uses strengths-based interviewing alongside competency questions. This means you need to talk about what genuinely energises you, not just rehearsed STAR stories.
- ✓Practice the online tests with the actual provider formats, not generic aptitude apps
- ✓Record a video interview practice session and watch it back before the real thing
