If you know that you will be interviewing for a particular position we ideally recommend that you start preparing for this about 12 months in advance. This will give you time to identify and address any current capability gaps by, for example undertaking specific training or experiences.
If you are already planning on interviewing for a position then we recommend you commence your interview preparation and practice at a minimum of 6 weeks out from the interview.
For clients attempting the college assessment for the specialist pathway, it is our experience that most clients take about 3 months to collect the information required for the application. It generally takes about a month or two to conduct the interview following submission of the application.
