Interview
After a short phone screen with a recruiter, an online video interview was arranged. This interview was pre-recorded and consisted of 6 strength-based questions (given below). I had 5 days to complete the interview, and was notified soon after of my progress to the final stage assessment day. The assessment day ran from 9am - 5pm, starting with an introduction and tour of the building. There were 3 tests - Venn and set notation, IT aptitude and maths, all of which were very easy. Finally there were 3 quick-fire interviews each of around 7-10 minutes and with their own focus. The process is made very clear to you beforehand by the recruiters so there is nothing unexpected. The interviewers are all very nice and the experience was positive overall.

Interview
Initial phone screening, not really an interview just more to check your suitability for the programme. Followed by a video interview - the recruiters will help you prepare for this, they're very friendly. After passing this stage, you will attend an Assessment Centre which consists of various tests, i think it was 3 which i did. Then 3 short interviews with various staff members - each had an un-assessed practice question. Questions are straight forward - why FDM? Mainly competency based questions, tell me about a time when...
