I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at BMW Group (Oxford, England) in May 2010
Interview
Applied online through the relevant website, received a letter/email inviting me to a selection day. This consisted of aptitude tests such as English, Maths and Problem solving. There was then a group exercise to gauge teamwork, followed by a hands-on practical aptitude test. Upon success of this stage, you are then invited back for an interview, one-on-one and in-person with a manager. After the interview, it was a matter of weeks before I had an initial job offer over the phone, in which I accepted, and then started the apprenticeship.

Question 1
The formal written maths test was difficult, and the hands-on practical involved building a tower out of plates of metal and nuts and bolts, which was stressful when under the pressure of being timed! The interview consisted of questions such as "what sort of things are important to have and be aware of before starting a large-scale project"
The interviews are 3 rounds in total. 1st is HR call and 2nd is with Hiring manager, 3rd is Hiring manager/director. Mainly behavioral interviews and relatively found it easy. It took about a month in total for the whole process, it takes a week for the next interview.
