Good basic secondry school education - to be evidenced by - A/C<----- :shock: ???
Personal and people development (1-5) 1 to be evidenced by A/I/T<------ :shock: ???

Ok, Jas talked me through it 
A = application form, which means I`ve already covered it.
C = Certification which I don`t have handy, but as the interview invitation did not ask for it, shouldn`t be a problem. I can produce later.
T = Test, possibly a psychometric test (I came up with that, not Jas!)which I won`t have any problems with.
I = interview.
Don`t feel so daft now! This information should have been covered with a key at the bottom of the page, it`s not information I shouldhave known!

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works, but.....
'Personal and people development' is not likely to be verified or validated through psychometric testing. As psychometric testing is not an indicator of attainment or competence, more a measure of behavioural preferences, it would not be appropriate to use it as a measure of your competence to learn and develop others.
Should the role be a development role, they may well have completed a profile analysis of the behavioural styles most suited to dealing with say groups of people in a learning environment. Their analysis may then well indicate an extrovert personality/behavioural preference would feel most comfortable (note: comfortable not able) to undertake specified responsibilities. If then your psychomitric indicators show you as an introvert, you must be offered the opportunity to explain how you would/have/do adapt your 'natural' behavioural preference to suit the needs of the situation.

The tests are normally competency based. The competencies used, and the behavoural indicators they mark against, vary dependant on the Goverment Department Concerned. Most are normally listed on the Web Site for the particular government department.
Drop me a pm if you want me to try to get copies for you.
