Published process vs practice
What to prepare for
Situational strengths and numerical reasoning tests
Shortlisted candidates take an online Situational Strengths test and a Numerical Reasoning test. Aviva does not publish test lengths or question counts.
Video interview and AI literacy assessment
A recorded strengths-based video interview with a practice question first, then a short assessment of how you use judgement when working with AI. Aviva says AI is not used to assess candidates or make recruitment decisions.
Online coding test
Software Development applicants complete an online coding test, which the 2027 listing places after the video interview.
Virtual assessment day
A virtual assessment day where you meet the team. Aviva does not publish the exercises or duration.
Insurance tech practice focus
Our original sample trains loss-ratio and premium arithmetic, digital-claims data, a release-day strengths scenario and a short code-reading item.
