Stage 1 | Online task-based psychometric assessment | 4 April – 20 April
The first element of the process is to register your interest online. In order to be eligible to apply, you must be at least 18 years old at the start of the course and you must reside in West Yorkshire and be able to provide evidence of this.
The first stage of the process is an online task-based psychometric assessment. This assessment consists of a series of interactive tasks designed to measure your unique behaviours and give us insight into your potential to succeed in the role. The assessment can be completed on desktop, mobile, or tablet. There are no right or wrong answers, so we encourage you to approach the tasks in a way that feels most natural to you.
