What do we mean by AI tools?
AI tools include things like CV builders, grammar checkers and writing assistants (e.g. ChatGPT, CoPilot, Gemini) These can help you structure your application, check spelling and improve clarity.
Can you use AI tools?
Yes, you can use AI tools to help prepare your application for the RCT Council Apprenticeship & Graduate Programme. However:
- Your application must reflect your own skills, experience, and achievements.
- Do not submit content generated entirely by AI without reviewing and personalising it.
- Be honest, AI should support you, not replace your voice
Tips for Using AI Responsibly
- Check accuracy: AI can make mistakes or include irrelevant details.
- Add your personality: We want to hear your authentic voice.
- Avoid copying job descriptions: Tailor your application to show how your experience matches the role.
- Proofread: Even after using AI, review your application carefully
Checklist: Responsible AI Use
- Have I checked that all information is accurate and true?
- Does my application sound like me, not a generic template?
- Have I added examples of my own experience?
- Have I proofread the final version before submitting?
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Is it okay to use ChatGPT or similar tools for my CV or application?
Yes, as long as the content reflects your own experience and skills. Do not copy and paste AI-generated text without reviewing and personalising it.
- Will using AI give me an advantage?
Not necessarily. AI can help with structure and grammar, but we value authenticity and real examples of your achievements.
- Can I use AI for online tests or assessments?
No. Tests and assessments must be completed by you alone. Using AI in assessments is considered cheating and may disqualify you.
- How can I make sure my application doesn’t sound generic?
Add personal examples, achievements and experiences that show your unique strengths.
