Start off with some fairly standard online tests. Afterwards if successful you will be invited to an interview in the store where more questions are asked of you but in a group interview, but that all depends on what store you apply for as some may have own strategy. I had a one on one but ever since it seems to be a group thing.

I applied online. I interviewed at Tesco (Hertford, England) in Mar 2015
Interview
After online tests, there was a competency based phone interview that lasted roughly 45 minutes. The interviewer was friendly and relaxed, and asked standard competency questions.
The assessment centre was split into three parts;
A one-on-one interview (again competency based) and also a 3D CV presentation about yourself which was great.
A business simulation task, involving a group discussion to choose three out of six initiatives for a company to invest in.
A presentation prepared on the day to one team member, based on reading a brief and choosing which area a company should focus on in the next 12 months.
Everyone was friendly, relaxed and apart from longer periods of time waiting around, it was a really fun day! Only criticism was that it was held in somewhere quite difficult to get to!
