Interview
I was invited into the managers office and asked a variety of questions. Some asking about working with a team, others asking about dealing with difficult customers. A lot of circumstantial questions.

After sending in your application they will email you a link to conduct an online pre-interview done by a third party. If the company will alert Academy of your qualification level and if sufficient you will be asked to meet in-person for an interview with an Academy manager.
Pretty simple process and very basic interview questions.
