We are a data-led regulator, and, in the workplace, we use a range of tools to support data work, from calculators and online tools to Excel and Microsoft Copilot. Depending on your role, you may also collaborate with data teams to help gather and interpret the information you need.
Many of our roles involve working with numbers to some extent, so we will assess your data literacy skills as part of our recruitment process.
You’ll find practice questions in our Candidate Preparation Zone to help you prepare and feel confident.
