Hoda Al Halfi is a first-year project management apprentice at Transport for London. In this series we go behind the scenes of her apprenticeship and find out what it's really like to be a TfL apprentice.

How did you apply?

I applied to the scheme which involved submitting a CV, filling in an online application and a number of short tests.

What happened next?

I was contacted through e-mail to inform me of the next steps. I was luckily invited to an assessment centre along with other potential candidates.

What tips do you have for other people applying for apprenticeships?

If I could give any advice, I’d say give it a go! You have nothing to lose and you most surely won’t regret not applying in the first place (oh yes and before I forget, please apply before the deadline, don’t leave it last minute like I did!)
