I’m assuming on the online tests they only put through the top scoring candidates. Wish I had of been faster on the alpha numerical test now.

I thought the assessment would be alpha numeric but it’s actually SJT

I did the sjt, followed by the alpha numerical test (checking two lots of data).

it’s still showing up on mine, I imagine it will be pulled soon though.

We're pleased to let you know that you have successfully passed your recent online assessment(s).

Whilst we endeavour to progress everyone who passes their online assessment to the next stage of the process, this is not always possible when we are dealing with high volumes of applications. On occasions like this and in the interests of fairness, we will only be able to progress those that fall within the top scoring bracket

The SJT questions were interesting but as always with these, the focus is on following procedure, safety and reporting to a manager.

Hi, would anyone know if I would be allowed to apply for this position, even though I already have live applications with swr for other positions?

They do send you practice materials but there are raat and scaat samples already on the OPC website. You can also practice scaat with the group bourdon software which is stickied on this forum

Do you need to provide proof of GCSE? I did mine in the 90s so no idea where my certificates are.

The vacancy is still open which is strange as it usually closes after 2 days!!! I’d assume applications will be updated after the closing date

Last time this vacancy was open for so long they froze everyone as they made the error of not putting the auto close when it reached capacity..
I’ve had three friends apply for this.. 2 were given the SJT and alphanumerical tests but the one that applied very recently on was given the SJT?

Did your other friend had only SJT, still didn’t receive alphanumeric test yet?

Hey guys, I too have passed the online assessments and hope to be in the top bracket. I have been informed that the next stages are the assessment day. Then a driving test of some sort and then the interview.

Can anyone elaborate on the driving part of the assessment please?
