Your test will depend on whether you employer is Total E&P Nigeria Limited OR Total downstream Nigeria Limited. It will also depend on whether it is experienced or graduate position.
Well I participated last year with TEPN in Port harcourt. The first stage was at Trans-Amadi, and it was only SHL aptitude test (Verbal and Numerical only) - No Skill or Technical Test.
After like one month, we (successful candidates) were invited to come and meet with an External Consultant 'Occupational Psychologist' at their Total GuestHouse at Aba Road. Here they asked personality questions, Psychological personal questions (about 200 questions asking you about yourself, which you need to finish on your own - no timing) and playing with objects, colours and drawings. After the test, the HR in-charge told us that successful ones will be contacted for technical test anytime the respective department is ready, before the final discussion with HR.
After three months, precisely last week of Dec 2012, they sent another mail to successful ones, including me, telling us that we are successful and will be invited for the next stage 'in coming months'. Unfortunately, almost everyone that was successful in last year's recruitment processes under TEPN is still waiting for the 'coming months' that will soon turn to 'coming years'.
Strange thing here is that on the day we met the External Consultant, we were about eight, and two were for this Umblical thing. Does it mean that they have concluded theirs or what? Mine was Project Engr.
However, for those that wrote theirs outside Nigeria, I learnt that the process was fast tracked. Aptitude, Psychological and technical all within few days.
My advise for you is to follow them one after the other and very patiently. TEPN's recruitment takes quite a long time (months and few years). Except for Downstream, which I learnt that theirs is a little faster.
Anyone invited for Construction Engr.?
niger queen abeg call me i misplaced ur num.mine is 08028698677 am waiting
@danielsilo, this is the mail i got from total and it shows i ll write the technical test the next day.

@tunaxt; ok, may be they have changed the strategy. Like I said, it was only those that did theirs outside Nigeria that had it fast-tracked within days.
@Danielsilo, pls how many questions for each section (verbal & numerical) and at what timing?
@pluto, timing for each was 30mins each and they have a timer that rings bell when the time is up. verbal was about 35 questions, while numerical was about 30 questions. They allowed calculator.
I really did not finish any of the two papers but they still called me for the next stage. Just make sure that the ones you answer are correct, and be fast.
Hi. How are you doing? Please can you remember what type of questions that was set in the numerical part. Was it about data interpretation? And the verbal, was it the type that have options like True, False and Cannot Say? Your response will be highly appreciated. Thanks
My aptitude test and Professional test is to be taken the same day. Who else have such schedule?
@Danielsilo, tanx 4 ur prompt response. Deeply aprec8
Thank you all for the information.I was also invited for construction engr. position on the 1st of sept.I ve been made to understand from this forum that the aptitude test will be basically from SHL comprising of verbal and numerical tests.My major concern now is the professional test.I don t know what to prepare for or how the test will look like.I ve only written one professional test in my life with one multinational oil service firm,although I applied for offshore structural engr.They gave me just one question which was a continuous beam with like four spans to analyze for BM and SF.Now come to think of construction engr.,I keep wondering what the skill test ll look like.I am now feeling like that I would have applied for umbilical/riser engr. or what ever where I can forecast questions for my self as I also have experience in that field.Pls am pleading with anyone that have written this test before,to inform us on what to prepare for or how the professional test looks like for construction engr position.Thanks
