Civil Service Graduate Fast Stream 2013

Just found out I got through to central departments and pending dip service... had my fsac on 4th feb. Thank you for all the info from this forum, has really helped in terms of what to expect.

I didn't receive an email but my messages were updated last night so keep checking the actual page.

Massive congratulations. I was there that day but I haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully I'll get some news today or Monday and won't have to be ambered.

What group were you in by the way?

Having passed for the GFS (with Dip Service and Central Departments chosen as options), can someone just reassure me that I am guaranteed a job in Central Departments? I am about to withdraw my Technology in Business application and am suddenly inexplicably terrified of doing so!

Hey- i wouldnt worry...they said at least a week before amber banded. I was in group 6, what about you?

According to the FAQ section of the Fast Stream website, only those that pass FSAC for CD are guaranteed a place. But I don't think you really need to withdraw anything at this stage because if you rank GFS higher than TiB, Parity will offer you CD and withdraw you from TiB or invite you to withdraw TiB. Either way, I don't think you'll be invited for TiB FSB unless you change your mind and withdraw from GFS. Hope that helps!

As I understand it, you are guaranteed a job in CD if you pass the FSAC, but I don't really think you gain much from withdrawing from TiB early so I wouldn't bother until it's absolutely necessary. No-one's required to take any job that's offered to them, so if it were me I wouldn't withdraw until I had accepted an offer from elsewhere.

Thanks for your response. You don't rank GFS and TiB against one another the way you do for CD/DS/HoP, etc. I've also been invited to both the DS FSB and the TiB FSB, so they clearly are separate schemes. I've passed FSAC and have a pass for CD, so all I was checking was that I was definitely guaranteed a job in CD and was safe to withdraw my TiB application. There's no point in me taking up a space at the FSB if I've already got something I'd prefer.

You're welcome. What I meant by 'rank' was when you added your scheme(s) before taking the online test as you are supposed to do this based on your preference. I wasn't referring to the option selection for GFS - CD, DS, HoP, Science & Engineering that you rank after passing the online test for GFS. Anyway, congratulations again, and all the best with your FSB.

Anyone from FSAC 31st Jan heard anything today?

Has anyone had the FSAC for HR?
