You will need to complete an online application form, along with some verbal and numerical reasoning tests.

A test comprised of scenarios based on the experiences of NGDP trainees. Your responses to these scenarios will be assessed.

If your SJT result proves to be successful, you will be invited to a video interview.

You will be invited to attend an assessment centre for half-a-day – here, you will gain real insight into the NGDP. This will help you decide whether it is right for you.

If you pass the assessment centre, you will meet with local councils who are offering places. Interviews will be arranged by the NGDP recruitment team.

You will receive a response, regarding the outcome of your application, shortly after this stage.
