Presentation Behavioral
The interview process was pretty bad. It involved recording yourself answering questions on video. It felt like they weren't that interested in the graduate program if they didn't have someone actually interview candidates. Not sure if this is still how they do it, as my interview was about a year ago.

Technical Behavioral
Applied on-line. After submitting my application I was asked to take a Situational Judgement Test, which I found fairly easy. After passing that I was invited to take numeracy and logical tests - they were standard SHL ones. The next step was telephone interview, during which I was asked about my strengths and why I want to work for Scottish Power, as well as two competency-based questions. The interview took place in December and I was told I would get a response within 5 working days, but I am still waiting for the outcome.
