We’ll show you the way
As you’d expect, our selection process is rigorous. So while we try to progress everyone’s application as quickly as possible, it still takes some time. This page will give you some idea of our award winning process and what to expect throughout.
There are three key stages to the process:
Stage One
Application and online testing
Applications will close 9th December 2011 at 10am. The tests that you complete provide us with accurate and valid data to help us make a decision whilst at the same time ensuring fairness. The tests will also give you some insight into what working life on the scheme can be like, enabling you to make an informed decision as to whether we are right for you. Once you have submitted your online application you will be invited to complete the following online testing tools:
- Verbal reasoning

All tests must be completed by 10am, 14th December 2011. We strongly encourage you to complete your online tests as early as possible.
