The Apprentice sees fourteen candidates, in two teams, competing against each other for a position at Sir Alan Sugar's company, AMSTRAD. Each week the candidates take part in a task set by Sir Alan. Each team will have a Project Manager who managers that group for that task. All the time Sir Alan's aides will follow the groups, and inform Sir Alan of what has really happened. The team that performs the best will win a reward and avoid the
boardroom. The losing team will be summoned.
