Practice here is relevant
If you have applied here
There is no short-listing test here, so everything rests on the application form and the interview. At interview this course uses values-based questioning, which is the same reasoning the practice here rehearses.
What to do
- Work through the scenario practice — it rehearses weighing imperfect responses against professional standards, which is what these tasks assess.
- Read the course’s own selection page before you prepare. It is linked on this page and it is the only authority on its own process.
Practice material here reflects what research and first-hand accounts indicate these assessments are like. No course publishes its test, so nothing is confirmed and this site claims no inside knowledge. Not affiliated with University of Plymouth, the Clearing House, the BPS or the HCPC.
