NHS GMTS 2022 NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme 2022

They said that they were going to upload them to the GMTS website by the end of this week, but they were having technical difficulties. Hopefully they will go up soon. I’ve been holding off doing it in the hope of these practise questions, but if they don’t go up soon I’m just going to go for it.

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd start this thread in anticipation for the September 2022 entry for the NHS GTMS.

Has anyone else seen that the application process for this year has completely changed? Instead of typical separate aptitude tests, it is now a 3 stage process - "Capptivate, Simulate and Virtual Assessment". Not sure what these will entail yet.

What streams are you all planning to apply for? Not sure when applications open yet, it's usually October time, but best of luck everyone

EDIT: Applications open 4th of October and close at the end of November. A big difference from previous campaigns.

Can anyone tell me as to whether the Capptivate assessment has a maths competency test?

Cheers

Like most online tests for graduate schemes there will be some graphs and data to analyse but you don't really need advanced math skills to figure them out. I'd say take your time and read carefully through the questions - ideally have a calculator and some paper with you to help.

Edit: this might depend on which scheme you are applying for. Never applied for finance, for example, so not sure if the test would be slightly different and more math based.

Hello everyone! I'm in my second year of university and want to apply, however, it does say in the first section whether I'll be able to begin the scheme next year. Will I be rejected if I say no? I can't find information on the website if they accept penultimate year students, only undergraduates.

I’ve applied and done my captivate.. although I’ve realised I’ve made a bit of a mistake. I’ve put down policy as my first choice, but put down South east and my location preference 😅😅 London was my second choice though.. hope it doesn’t matter!

Hi does it include E-tray exercise?

Hi does it include E-tray exercise?

I'm assuming by E-tray exercise you mean whether you will be given a scenario and then asked to pick a course of action from a multiple choice list or to rank a course of action based on how effective or ineffective it would be.

In that case then yes, you should expect to have something like that in the assessment. It's quite standard now for most graduate schemes (that I've applied for anyway).

I'm conflicted on whether to apply for General or HR. Anyone have any advice? Also does anyone know how many places are allocated for each stream v. the no of applications?

Check the page and look carefully before you select your schemes. I have done the mistake of selecting some schemes I liked but found out that some had as few as 10 places which means the competition is ferocious. some schemes like the generalist has about 259 places if I remember well others like Diplo have 10. Once you make the selection you will not be able to change. Bear that in mind.
