How to Get Into the Amazon Apprenticeship — Stage by Stage
The Amazon Apprenticeship has an acceptance rate of around 2–4%. Here's exactly how to go from application to offer — stage by stage.
The Process, In Order
Online Application
Complete the application form — personal details, grades, and motivational questions. Application window: Roles posted year-round — technology roles in autumn, operations roles ongoing.
Online Assessments
Workstyle assessment and online aptitude tests
Video Interview
Amazon uses HireVue for initial screening — questions are explicitly framed around Leadership Principles
Assessment Centre
Behavioural interviews using Leadership Principles
What the Top Candidates Do Differently
- ✓Apply in the first two weeks of the window opening — roles fill on a rolling basis
- ✓Prepare 5–7 STAR stories before starting the application — you'll need them at multiple stages
- ✓Know Amazon's business in detail — not just the sector. Every Amazon interview answer must be grounded in a specific Leadership Principle. Candidates who don't know all 16 principles by name and can't give examples for at least 8 will not progress past the first interview.
- ✓Practice the online tests with the actual provider formats — not generic aptitude apps
- ✓Record a video interview practice session and watch it back before the real thing
