Yes, that’s fine. All the assessments prior to the assessment day can be completed online at a time and place that suits you. We recommend you pick somewhere quiet though, and it’s a good idea to turn off your phone. 

While we can’t provide individual results, you’ll get an Insights report after completing the online assessment, to help you understand more about your strengths and development needs. It doesn’t, however, indicate whether you've made it to the next stage. 

Everyone has a unique combination of strengths and areas for development, so we want to see the ‘real you.’ We’re not expecting perfection. Just be yourself. The best way to prepare is by thinking about your natural strengths – the things you enjoy doing and you’re good at. Find more information on our Application Process page and Assessment Practice Zone.

We use Microsoft Teams to run our virtual assessment days. Make sure you have access to a laptop/iPad and a good internet connection for the full day, and ideally somewhere quiet to work and be free from distractions. You can access Microsoft Teams on a smartphone but as you’ll be asked to review detailed information, we recommend you use a larger device instead.

We appreciate that not everyone will have access to a laptop or tablet, or a good internet connection at home. And that’s OK, we can help if that’s the case. Contact us and we can discuss giving you access to a laptop within one of our offices. If you do travel to one of our offices, we can support you with travel expenses too. Please email the team at lloydsbankinggrouptalent@peoplescout.co.uk or call 0345 330 4576.

We let you know nearer the time so that you can keep the date free.
