How do I apply for bootcamp

The application process takes thought and effort. It's an opportunity for us to learn about you and what makes you tick, and for you to meet us so you can decide if bootcamp is right for you.

There are five stages:

1. complete the application form, including a personal statement

2. provide the name of someone who will give a character reference

3. attend an online video interview with the Ashfurlong Academy founders

4. take a critical thinking test

5. attend a video workshop with other applicants on UK current affairs

After the video interview (Stage 3) an initial assessment is completed. Applicants who are successfully short listed at this stage and who want to move forward, get an invite to Stages 4 and 5.

At the end of the process, you'll be invited to attend an online video call to let you know whether your application has been successful. Everyone gets constructive feedback, and we'd also like to know what you thought of the application process.
