FAQs

It depends on the programme you're interested in. Our entry requirements will be clearly listed on our job adverts.
All our apprenticeships require a minimum qualification in the following subjects and you will need to be able to evidence these:

•    (Scotland) National 5 (or equivalent) at grade A-C in both Maths and English (English language and / or literature).

•    (England/Wales/Crown Dependencies) GCSE (or equivalent) at grade 4-9 in both Maths and English (Language and / or Literature).

Yes, we do. You might need to provide evidence comparing your qualifications to UK standards (like a UK ENIC Statement of Comparability). If we need this, we'll let you know.  

Absolutely! Although if you get an offer that requires specific qualifications, you’ll need to achieve your predicted grades prior to your Apprenticeship vacancy start date. Your offer will only become unconditional once you can evidence these.  

Yes, that’s fine. Our apprenticeships are advertised internally and externally. Please apply via Workday.

It depends... If your degree is in a totally unrelated subject and doesn’t overlap with your apprenticeship learning modules, you should be good to go.

But if your degree is in a similar subject, or has modules that do overlap, we'll need to review your modules more closely. We might need to chat with you about it. 

You must have the legal right to work in the UK. Due to Home Office requirements regarding Skilled Workers, we’re unable to accept applications for visa sponsorship for our apprenticeship roles as the proposed salary for the role does not meet the minimum threshold.

There’s a huge range to choose from, from intermediate to degree level.

Have a think about what kind of work you’d like to do. Each apprenticeship is designed for a specific role, so ask yourself “What do I enjoy doing? What am I naturally good at? What are my strengths?” 

Why not take a look at some of our profiles to help you decide?

If you can’t see the right role for you right now, just register your interest for a particular apprenticeship or a specific location and we’ll be in touch when something becomes available. Head over to the Register your interest page and leave your details.

It depends on the programme. Our apprenticeships typically run from 12 months to three years.

Yes! Our apprenticeship vacancies are permanent positions from day one.

To feel proud! Plus of course everyone on our apprenticeships gets a nationally recognised qualification. Some apprenticeships progress to higher level programmes. You’ll find all the details in the job adverts.

We recruit all through the year – just keep checking our website for the latest apprenticeships available.

All across the UK in our Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland branches. We also have apprentice opportunities in many of our larger business hubs, such as Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Chester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Halifax, Leeds, London, Manchester and Newport. And if you’re not particularly close to any of these locations, why not experience life in a new city?

Assessment days are simply a chance for us to learn a bit more about you. They happen online or face to face, and you’ll be asked to complete a few straightforward tasks and activities which might include all, or some, of the following:  

• a strengths-based interview 
• a team exercise 
• a group activity including a presentation

If you’re invited to an assessment day, we’ll assess you against the criteria we’ve set for the role. Just be yourself and enjoy the experience! 

Energy and enthusiasm for our business and the role you’ve applied for. Do some research about our brands, our vision, and our competitors. Be ready to tell us why you’re interested in working for us and why you think the apprenticeship you’ve applied for matches your skills and interests.

You can get an inside view from someone who works at Lloyds Banking Group to help you prepare. Read more here.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a lot of previous work experience, our apprenticeships are designed to teach you everything you will need to know to be successful in your role. However, we’ll still need to assess if you have the right attitude and enthusiasm for our business and the apprenticeship you’ve applied for. Be ready to show us what other things you’ve done and any skills and experience you’ve gained from other activities – whether it’s volunteering or playing in a sports team.  

For example, if you play sport, you may be able to talk about being a team player or having to attend training sessions as well as keeping on track with your studies. Perhaps you’ve done a Duke of Edinburgh award or some volunteering work. Tell us about your experience doing this. Or maybe you’ve had a part-time or summer job and you can talk about what this has taught you.  

The role itself isn’t important, we’re just interested in any skills and experience you’ve picked up that you can transfer into your apprenticeship. It’s who you are and what you can offer that matters.
