The application process

Prior to submitting your application, we would advise you to use our Match me tool to ensure that the Scheme is right for you.

Before you apply, please ensure that you meet all our entry requirements.

Applications are now closed. We will announce the dates for our next application round in 2021 on our website and social media.

Completion of the application form will be followed by some online tests. These tests will focus on your general abilities and how you would respond to situations you would typically face on the Scheme. You’ll start with a Video Situational Judgement Test and a Personality Profiler, before taking a Numerical Reasoning Test (NRT), Verbal Reasoning Test (VRT) and Critical Reasoning Test (CRT). There will be a minimum standard you’ll need to reach on each test before proceeding to the next.

You need to try to complete online tests within 10 days of being invited to do so. Please note you can only submit one application to the NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme per intake.

You can take a practice test for Situational Judgement, Verbal Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning, & Critical Reasoning.

If your application is successful you be invited to complete a video interview.

You need to complete this within 10 days of being invited to do so.
