17. FAQs Q: What are aptitude tests? A: Psychometric test is anumbrella name for occupational/ability testing and personality profiling. They are typically used to inform selection decisions and/or understand an individual's career development needs. They are structured tests, taken in exam-like conditions, which aim to measure objectively a person's ability. Q: Can I practice the tests beforehand? A: Yes Q: What is an assessment centre, can I prepare for it? A: Assessment centres evaluate individuals or groups using exercises to simulate important elements of the job for which they are applying. They give candidates experience of a microcosm of the job while testing them on work-related activities as individuals and in groups. Observers can assess existing performance and predict future job performance. A number of candidates attend, and several assessors administer and observe a series of assessments. There is a mixture of group and individual exercises, such as group discussions, situational activities and in-tray or written exercises in addition to interviews. The assessments are designed to discover how well each candidate meets the personal competencies required for the job

18. FAQs Q: Do you have people in mind already that will go on the development programme? A: No. This is an open process and we want to see as many people apply as possible Q: What is the benefit of the development programme? A: For anyone who is interested in developing their career and progressing in a management role either inside or outside of B/E, participation in a programme like this would represent a huge step in the right direction as you would cover theory and practice in the area of managing people and you would get exposure within the business as presentations and updates will have to be provided to the SMT Q: What is the ILM certification and what does it mean? A: The ILM is the UK’s largest management body, combining industry-leading qualifications and specialist member services. This development programme is accredited by the ILM and as such will be a recognised management qualification in industry. It will be the employee’s qualification to use.

These assignments will be work related Q: Who will mark my assignments? A: The Consultants from Parity will mark your assignments and they will be reviewed by a representative from ILM Q: Who decides whether I should achieve the ILM accreditation? A: The ILM Q: When and where will modules be held? A: Modules will be run at the site during the working week/day

Undertaking an opportunity like this requires significant individual commitment

21. FAQs Q: How long does the programme last? A: The development programme will last for approximately 14 months Q: How much of my time is it going to take? A: Applicants will have to invest time in making their application and in attending the elements of the selection process. The selection process will take place during the working week/day. Just as you would manage while studying through an educational institution for some additional educational qualification, the development programme will require some commitment from you to balance your job responsibilities, attend the modules, work on projects and complete any pre-course reading and coursework that is required. This should all be achievable by each individual. Q: Will I get paid time off work to make my application and attend assessment centres and interviews? A: Employees will get paid time off to attend testing and assessment centres and final selection process. It is anticipated that completing the application will take some time and thought and therefore will need to be done in your own time

A: 12 in total Q: Will there be a limit on the numbers who can participate from each department? A: There may be a need to put a quota on the numbers who can participate on the development programme from each department but the Company will reserve the right to review this aspect in order to balance the needs of the business

23. FAQs Q: Will attending the programme change my current contract? A: No Q: Will I be guaranteed a promotion? A: No, promotion won’t be guaranteed but you will be much better positioned upon completion of the programme to apply for promotional opportunities Q: Will I be able to get access to computers? A: Yes Q: Will I have to sign a training agreement? A: Yes Q: What if I can't attend a module -can it be run again? A: The plan needs to be that participants are available for all modules.
