The aptitude testing helps us determine your suitability for the trade preferences you selected in your application, and all other NZDF trades.
The new tests introduced on the 14th of January 2021 measure Numerical Ability, Deductive Reasoning, Inductive Reasoning and Mechanical Comprehension. These tests assess cognitive ability on these subjects, rather than the knowledge base, which is what the old tests were measuring.
It will take approximately 45 minutes to complete the two aptitude tests.
Your Candidate Engagement Facilitator (CEF) will endeavour to debrief you on your results within 72 hours of submission.
