Before you begin

A simple, guided interview

You will verify your details by email, complete a few quick device checks, watch a short introduction, then answer six recorded questions.

Designed for use on a computer: this interview is designed to work best on a laptop or desktop computer using Chrome, Edge or Safari. Mobile phones may work, but recording, scrolling and file upload can be less reliable.
  • Allow around 30–35 minutes in a quiet place with stable internet.
  • Use a desktop or laptop browser wherever possible. This tool is designed for computer use; Chrome, Edge and Safari are the best choices for this version.
  • Submitted answers are locked and cannot be changed.
  • You will watch a short introduction after setup and before the first question.
  • You can review a recording before you submit it.
  • After the questions, you can optionally upload your CV to help us review more quickly.
  • Before your interview, please read the ABM one-pager on “What makes a great mentor” and the Help to Grow: Management Course person specification.
