Watch an actual
assessment centre on line!
(University of Edinburgh Campus PCs only.
DVD version available for viewing in our Information Centres)
-
Sign up for
"Assessment Centres", a practice session which allows you to experience
a range of group exercises used in the second stage of selection by
some employers - see the What's
going on section of our website for details.
-
Book an
in-tray exercise with a member of the
Information team. This usually lasts around 1 hour and involves
you working through a paper-based timed exercise followed by feedback. Alternatively,
work through the same in-tray
exercise online which takes around 20-30 minutes (although the
online version is multiple choice so is less demanding). If you
can come in to do the paper-based version, we'd encourage you to do
so.

Watch the
AGCAS DVD Selection Success in One (section called The Assessment Centre) available in the Information Centres.
