Top of Form | Test Instructions

You are required to answer a number of questions. The questions will come in two forms. The first will present you with a series of situations that you may encounter in this role day to day and will require you to make judgements.

The second format will not involve making a judgement, but instead, simply answering some questions about you and your work history. Please read each question carefully and then enter your response. These questions may appear at any time during the test.
