This was posted in another thread recently. Do you have a source for this or are you just repeating what you've seen elsewhere? As far as I am aware, Northern require standard passes.

I’ve sat the tests with Northern recently so can confirm from my own experience Northern are enhanced passes.

I'm not casting any doubt on what you are saying at all but I also sat them with Northern this year and I was told they require standard passes, so either one of us has been told the wrong thing or it's very recently changed - it would be good to find out which is true.

I was told when I sat them that they changed it earlier this year.

Northern used to require enhanced passes but they changed to standard in about 2014. I’m not aware they have ever changed what they require since then.

I can confirm having recently sat the assessment, at the start the assessors advised the group that Northern do require enhanced passes this was July 2020.

Looks like it's been pulled by being over subscribed. Good luck everyone and get the application in quicker next time if you've missed out.........

First post on here, been lurking for a while. I applied back in December 2019. Unfortunately due to Covid I was informed the position was withdrawn. Fingers crossed second time around and good luck to those who have applied.

Good luck to everyone. A friend applied for a post in leeds/hull and is still waiting to hear back regarding application.
I sat the psychometric in august and it was to an enhanced standard.

I recently sat the psychometrics for Northern (August 2020) and con confirm that they require enhanced standard across the board.

Oh well that's me knocked back at the paper sift stage! I'm quite surprised as I thought my application was quite strong on paper. Good luck to anyone who's got through to interview
