Interview
Waste of time, with a over the top assessor who is impatient.
1. Phone Screening
2. Physical Interview which consists of a road sign test and practical test.
Although I passed the road signs, I apparently failed the practical which is nonsense.
I had a feeling my assessor was not going to be easy to please, during the test he was already pressuring me asking if I finished, bear in mind not even 5mins went by.
I successfully parked in both bays twice without hitting any cones, the instructor said I took too long, considering I did it in one go (5 minutes).
I then went on to drive and the assessor said I was driving too slow. So you want me to be doing quick accelerations????
Im taking my time to turn and the assessor is saying I turn to slow and failed based on this, absolute nonsense. I have been driving for 10 years!

Interview
Had to answer a 5 scenario based questions which were relatively common sense and then was asked a few competency based questions whereby you would discuss some of your previous experiences. Then you were taken for a relatively easy driving assessment where you just had to show you can drive safely and were at low risk of a certain number of the company criteria.
