If you are unsure what you want to study, you can book a one-to-one appointment with our friendly School Liaison Team. They will chat through the different options available and support you with your college application.
Our priority application deadline is 31 March so we recommend applying before then. However, we do accept applications after this date.
Applying early will give you the opportunity to put all of your focus on your upcoming GCSE exams.
You will also be added to our mailing list and receive emails about our exciting enrichment activities including trips abroad, as well as our Applicant Preview Day in June.
No, if you have completed one, there is no need to complete the other.
If you do not have your predicted grades at this stage, do not worry. You will be able to add these later on the application portal.
We will process your application and will contact you to let you know what you need to do next.
You can either apply online or on paper. If you wish to complete a paper application, the School Liaison Team can support you with this.
Yes absolutely. If you are unsure about which course you would like to study at college, you can apply to three different courses. If you apply to more than three courses and they are very different from one another you may be contacted by our friendly School Liaison Team to help explore courses with you.
Determined, focused, highly-skilled – as an Apprentice you will stand head and shoulders above the rest.
Applying for an apprenticeship with Themis is a straightforward four-step process: get in touch, attend an interview, meet potential employers and start your new role.
Whether you have already found a vacancy or are just beginning your search, the Themis team is here to guide you every step of the way.
There are three ways to start your apprenticeship with Themis.
Found a vacancy you love? Browse our live vacancies page and click ‘Apply Now’ to get started right away.
If you’ve already found an Employer who is able to offer you an Apprenticeship, fill in our enquiry form and the Themis team will contact you about your next steps.
Not sure where to start? If there are currently no suitable vacancies and you have been unable to secure your own Apprenticeship, the Themis team can support you on an individual basis as you continue your search.
The team can also discuss other options with you and draw up a personalised action plan to help guide you to your ideal Apprenticeship.
Once you have applied for an Apprenticeship vacancy or contacted the Themis team for support, you will be sent a link to upload an up-to-date CV and your predicted GCSE grades.
We will then be in touch to book your interview with a Themis industry expert in your chosen sector or member of the Themis recruitment team.
To make the most of your interview, come prepared to:
This is your chance to make a lasting impression. If you have not already done so, now is the time to reach out to employers you are interested in working with. The Themis team will also submit your details to relevant employers for consideration for any live vacancies.
Meeting employers gives them the opportunity for them to learn more about you, your skills and your ambitions for your future.
To help you prepare, you may be invited to attend a Themis Toolkit Workshop*.
On being offered an Apprenticeship with your ideal employer or starting a full-time course with us, the Themis team will be on hand to offer advice and guidance on adapting to the world of work and making a successful start to your career.
Congratulations! You’re now an apprentice and one of the UK’s future industry leaders.
Yes. If there are no suitable vacancies currently available, the Themis team can support you on an individual basis, help you search for opportunities and draw up an action plan tailored to your goals.
School leavers are required to attend an interview with a Themis industry expert or a member of the recruitment team before progressing. Adults aged 19 and over do not need to attend an interview at this stage — the Themis team will instead contact you to check your eligibility and explain your next steps.
Themis Toolkit Workshops are free sessions open to all prospective apprentices. They cover CV writing, interview skills, presentation skills and teamwork to help you feel confident and prepared when meeting potential employers.
