Interview Skills Course
Tired of feeling unprepared for job interviews? Want to land your dream job by showcasing your skills and confidence? Our Interview Skills Course provides everything you need to succeed in your next interview.
This course goes beyond a “typical” interview skills program. We focus on real-world application and practical techniques to help you excel in any interview format.
For an interview skills course to be effective, there are five elements that need to be present. Here’s what sets our course apart:
- Appeals to all learning styles: Learn through engaging video scenarios, interactive exercises, and downloadable resources.
- Science-backed techniques: Our methods are based on research and psychology to ensure effectiveness.
- Reflection and practice: Gain valuable insights through self-reflection exercises, followed by practice opportunities with feedback.
- Real-world scenarios: Practice your skills in simulated interview scenarios that mirror real-world situations.
- Unbiased and objective: Learn how to avoid unconscious bias and make informed hiring decisions.
A Suggested Course Outline
The focus for the Interview Skills course needs to be everyone who is going to carry out a recruitment interview or a selection interview. Interviewing is so open to unconscious bias that it is only fair for all recruiters to receive the full training.
Suggested Course Objectives
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Produce a person specification which matches task and culture
- Design behavioural interviewing questions
- Use critical incident questioning
- Effectively use the behavioural interviewing techniques to get evidence of a candidate’s past behaviour in a situation
- Use an assessment process which provides objective, unbiased results.
Interview Skills Course Film Scenarios
Many learners need to see skills and techniques in action before they try them out for themselves. We use our own professional film scenarios which we scripted and created to illustrate different aspects of this skill set.
We will build each Interview Skills course around these filmed interview scenarios so that you can learn the skills of interviewing by watching how it is done before you practise.
The course also needs to provide real interview practise. Role play just doesn’t work when learning how to develop your interview skills.
Watch a sample from one of the film scenarios:

Interview Skills Course – Practise and Feedback
Practice makes perfect, and that’s why we recommend conducting two practice interviews in simulated interview rooms. We’ll capture each session on video to offer in-depth feedback. The feedback session following your first practice interview will be a game-changer, providing invaluable insights to refine your approach.
