The Selection Process

Following receipt of your SAF or CV, we will carefully assess the information you provide for us. If we think you may be suitable for our training programme, we will ask you to attend a double interview lasting approximately one and a half hours. The first part will be conducted by two of our department managers and the second by our staff partner. If you are unsuccessful, you will be told as soon as possible after the interview in writing. If you are successful, you will be made an offer which will be kept open for a limited period of time.
