I attended the assessment centre in September. First part was a ice-breaking session to know about your teammates who would be working together later. It was somehow relaxing. Then there was a video of their our platform and a 20-minute test on that came straight after, which was more about the application of the software. Then there came another 20-minute excel test which was not so difficult. Group presentation was to present the prioritizing of some daily routines. Finally was the micro-teach. Try to find a distinctive topic. Otherwise, if you find another person in your group with the same topic, it's really easy to get nervous.
