Frequently Asked Questions
Eligibility and choosing a programme
When do Future Talent roles open for applications, and when are the assessment centres?
Most of our Graduate roles open for applications in October, our Internships in November, and our Apprenticeships in February.
Here is an indicative guide on when we expect our Assessment Centres to typically take place, although this can change: Graduate (December and January), Intern (January and February), Apprentice (March and April).
However, please note that some roles may open for applications outside of these timeframes and therefore assessment centre timings will differ.
What are the entry requirements?
Graduate roles require a 2:1 degree. For Summer Internship and Year in Industry roles, you should be on track to achieve a 2:1.
Entry requirements for Apprenticeship roles vary depending on the apprenticeship provider. However, you must have the right to work in the UK.
We typically require:
- At least three C grades at A level, or 96 UCAS points
- Grade C/5 or above in GCSE Maths and English, or an equivalent qualification
Requirements may vary by programme and role, so please check the individual job advert before applying.
Can I apply for more than one Future Talent programme?
You can only have one active Future Talent application per recruitment cycle. If you submit more than one application, we may withdraw any additional applications.
If you realise that you have applied for the wrong programme or want to change your preference, contact the Future Talent team before reapplying. You can find our details in your application confirmation email.
Where are Future Talent roles based?
Locations vary by programme and role, so please check the individual job advert. Opportunities may be available in London, Cardiff, Hove and Glasgow.
When do applications close?
We recruit on a rolling basis and do not set application deadlines. We recommend applying as soon as you can, as roles may close once we have received enough suitable applications.
Applications and assessments
Do you accept CVs?
No, we do not accept CVs as part of the application process. Instead, we assess you based on your performance at each stage of the process.
Can I practise before taking the assessment?
Yes, we want you to feel confident and prepared at every stage. You can find out what to expect on our recruitment process page and practise before your assessment in the L&G Preparation Zone .
I haven’t received my assessment link. What should I do?
Please check your junk or spam folder first, as assessment invitations can sometimes be filtered there. If you still cannot find the link, contact the Future Talent team with your full name, the role you applied for and the email address used for your application.
Am I eligible to apply for a position if I require a visa?
Sponsorship is not available for Apprenticeship, Summer Internship or Year in Industry roles. Some Graduate roles may be eligible for sponsorship.
Are assessment centres virtual or in person?
We run virtual and in-person assessment centres. If you progress to this stage, we’ll provide full details of the assessment centre format, including whether it will be held online or in person, as well as any preparation guidance and logistical information you need.
AI and recruitment
Can I use AI tools during applications or interviews?
AI can support your preparation, but it should not replace you. You can use it to research, practise, organise your ideas and improve clarity.
Your application and online assessment responses must be submitted by you. Using AI live in an interview or assessment is prohibited. You must not use AI to complete assessed work for you, impersonate you, or record or transcribe an assessment.
Does L&G use AI during the application process?

Other opportunities and support
Does L&G offer work experience or shadowing?
