JLL Automation Apprenticeship

Hey everyone, I’m looking for as much information as I can get about the JLL Automation Engineering Apprenticeship.
I recently got the opportunity to move forward with the program and I have to take the Ramsay assessment within the next week. I need at least a 40/100 to pass. I’m honestly pretty nervous because I’m still a beginner with a lot of this stuff.
For anyone who has taken the Ramsay test for this apprenticeship, what should I actually study? What topics were heavily tested? Are there any practice tests, websites, courses, or YouTube videos that actually helped you prepare? I have about a week, so I’m trying to use my time wisely.
I’m currently enrolled in a 2-year Electrical Engineering Technology program, and my ultimate goal is to get into automation/controls and eventually become an Automation Engineer. If I get accepted into this apprenticeship, I’d seriously consider pursuing it because it seems directly related to where I want my career to go.
I’m also confused about how the apprenticeship itself works. Is this basically a travel position for the first year? Am I going to be away from home for months at a time, or do you mainly work at your home site and occasionally travel for training? If you do travel, does JLL cover hotels, flights, food/per diem, etc.?
What does the school/class schedule look like? How much time is spent working versus taking classes? What do they actually teach you—PLCs, controls, electrical troubleshooting, robotics, conveyors, networking, etc.? Are you working under Automation Engineers while you’re learning?
And after you complete the apprenticeship, what happens? Do most people move directly into an Automation/Controls position with JLL/Amazon?
Basically, if you’ve gone through this program, I’d love to hear everything about your experience—the Ramsay test, interview process, travel, schooling, work schedule, training, pay, and what your career looked like afterward.
Any advice is appreciated. I really want this opportunity and I’m trying to prepare as much as possible before taking the assessment.
