Learn as you earn with hands-on training
An apprenticeship can be a great choice if you’re looking for a way to learn and work at the same time. They offer a work-based alternative to traditional further and higher education, and the chance to take your career in new directions. You’re earning and learning, not building up any student debt, and building on your natural talents.
With us, you can gain technical and specialist skills, knowledge in areas like digital technology, sales, analytics or customer experience, and you get to put it all into practice in the real world. All the while, we’ll ensure you’re supported and mentored so that you can build your confidence in your new career.

Each of our different schemes is based on, and within, a key part of our business, so you can immerse yourself in what we do and how we do it. You’ll have time allocated to learn the technical or specialist elements of the apprenticeship and then apply this to your day job.

You’ll have access to a buddy and apprentice coach, as well as support from your line manager and the apprentice peer community. These are permanent roles where you’ll be paid a competitive apprenticeship salary. Find out more about our apprenticeship schemes below:

Step 1 - apply
The first step is to apply online and answer some eligibility questions. You’ll fill in an online form and have the option to add a CV, although it’s not necessary.
Step 2 – take part in the game-based assessment
If you meet our eligibility requirements, you’ll go through a game-based assessment created by our partner Arctic Shores. It’s designed to give everyone a fair, unbiased chance to do well when applying and helps us find out more about you as well as how you learn. You’ll get to see your results too, so you can see where your strengths lie.
Step 3 – take part in the virtual assessment event
If you reach the final stage of our process, we’ll invite you to a virtual assessment event, which will last a couple of hours. This is a great opportunity for you to find out more about Capita and the areas you’ll be working in. It’ll also give you the chance to meet some of your potential future peers. If you’re selected to take part in one of these sessions, we’ll provide you with all the information you need prior to the day!
Step 4 – apprenticeship offer and onboarding
If you’re successful at your virtual assessment event, you’ll be made a conditional offer and your onboarding process will start. We’ll also give you your start date and get you enrolled on your qualification.
