The recruitment process is divided into 3 stages:

  1. An online test with general questions relating to economy and politics (multiple choice).
  2. Upon passing the initial test, candidates will take a second online test in the IV. This is based upon the content of a script given to you. The test consists of open questions, a multiple-choice section and an essay to be written in English.
  3. Finally, candidates successfully completing the first 2 stages will be invited to a three-member panel interview. 

During the 30 month training programme, you will complete a job rotation as decided through consultation with the Human Resources team. These will include postings in
