The group exercise is a collaborative task where you will work together as a group on a time-sensitive task. You will be presented with a scenario that requires you to make decisions and contribute your suggestions. As a group, you will review, discuss, and agree on what actions to take. You will then share these actions with the assessor, along with a brief explanation of your rationale.
You will present a 5-minute pre-prepared presentation via video conference to the assessor and a group of your peers. The assessor will ask you questions lasting up to 5 minutes. You can use PowerPoint to support your presentation. The assessor will invite you to share your screen when it is your turn to present. Please download your presentation ready to the desktop of the device you will be using during the assessment centre.
