Assessment Day – what to expect
There are three parts to the Assesment Centre:
• “Competency” interview
• “Technical” interview
• Group Exercise
The Competency interview is all about ‘getting to know you’. You’ll be asked about your interest and why you
would like to participate in the programme.
The Technical interview is about assessing your aptitude. We’re not trying to catch you out with difficult
questions – we’re looking for creativity and lateral thinking. For example, if you showed interest in
mechanical engineering, we might ask you something like this:
“How many ways can you think of to convert rotary motion in to linear motion?”
