    The tests are basic literacy and numeracy tests - again more info can be found above!

    I wouldnt worry too much about interview - it is competency based for e.g. tel me a time you delivered excellent customer service - so a few questions based on the competencies that are listed in the job description you applied for

    All the preparation for tests and interview will be sent to you anyway so you can prepare in advanced (if you are successful)

    Good luck and let us know how you get on!

    Hi I received a letter asking me to complete the CRB Form & also provide details (wage slips, P45 etc) for my previous jobs. This was on 07 Feb 09.....when they ask for these pre-appointment checks is it because they have vacancies which they need to fill or is it to get things ready just in case vacancies come up???? How long do they take to reply? Can anyone tell me what is the next step? Please reply as the whole process started in Nov ...I mean my tests, interview etc....thanxxxx
