Recruit Test

The selection is a staged process and successful completion of one stage is required before you pass on to the next. Candidates must attend an initial interview or presentation and then pass the Recruit Test, Medical and Eye Test, Selection Interview, Pre-joining Fitness Test and Security and Reference Checks.

The Recruit Test (RT) is a psychometric ability test and is used to assess specific academic ability. Their use is supported by a long history of research, which shows how performance at the RT relates to your ability to cope with the technical and academic aspects of training. Although you may already have academic qualifications, the RT gives more information and is a fair way of assessing candidates on the same test. There are four separate parts of the test which are completed against a strict time limit and these sub tests measure general reasoning; verbal ability, numeracy and mechanical comprehension.
