6. So, what happens…
A group of candidates will usually spend half a day to a day undertaking various exercises that will test
skills, knowledge and behaviours required for a role. The type of exercises will depend on the role but
expect some or all of the following:
• Group exercises
• Individual written tests
• Role plays
• Presentations
• Individual exercise related to the role (i.e. develop a piece of code if you were applying for a developer
role)
• Aptitude and personality tests
• Interviews
8. Each employer will vary in the way they conduct their
assessment centre and the type of exercises they run.
Below is a guide to what a typical assessment centre will
involve:
• Arrival of candidates
• Introduction to the day, the company and the people
running the assessment centre (if it is for one role, they
may go into more detail about the role too)
• Ice breaker exercise
• Exercise 1

To ensure you showcase your skills to their full
potential:

Ask those who haven’t contributed their opinion
Suggest a vote if a decision can’t be made on a task
Keep to time (if a timed task) – maybe suggest allowing
certain times for certain parts of the task
