Job Interview - Trainee Domestic Appliance Engineer

Good Morning chaps.

I have a job interview on thursday for a position I desperatly want and i'm just looking for some tips as to what to expect at the interview etc.
Also it says in the description that you must be able to complete a basic electrical skills test. Now i'm not sure if this means at the interview stage or once you have got the job. I have pasted the job description below.
I don't have any practical experience except for when I completed a pre-apprenticeship course in vehicle engineering.

Here is the job description, any help or advice is appreciated.

"An excellent opportunity to train on Electrolux Group appliances including Zanussi. Must be capable of passing a basic electrical test. Must have physics standard grade or above and a full driving licence. Natural gas (CCN1, or equivalent) qualification an advantage. . Qualities will include good skills working with hands, an aptitude for problem solving and be capable of working with the public. Training will be provided on appliance repairs including washing machines and tumble dryers. Temporary for 13 weeks leading to permanent."
