Fast Stream 2012

I've been lurking on this thread for ages, just reading all the information it was very useful. I found out I passed my FSAC at the end of January/ beginning of February and found out yesterday I've been placed in the MOD. Very pleased!

I wondered, is anyone else going to the open day on Monday?

Does anyone know if they do FSAC's on a Friday? Or if they ever release results on a Friday?

The FSAC today is the last one in this round, so hopefully all results will be out tomorrow or Monday...

Won't stop me refreshing constantly today of course...

Did you have to send all of your information off (the extra forms etc) before you got an offer of placement?

Hi everyone,

I just found out on Monday that I was successful for the European Fast Stream and was wondering if anybody can shed any light on this mysterious final selection process?! I've been trying to get some information out of Parity, but all they'll tell me is that it's a paper based process and I don't need to do anything else...Does anyone have any idea of how many people they're cutting and on what basis? Or any idea of when they plan to let us know...I feel like I might explode if I have to wait any longer...!

First, congratulations. Do you have your report/score yet? Second, good question - not much information on it, and what there is can be occasionally contradictory. Parity told me they have very little to do with it, so I contacted cabinet office who responded that it would basically just be a language check (do you have either the certificates required or do you need to take their own language assessment) and a nationality check, as per conditions of the role. Finally they said they'd then check the FSAC scores and assign in score order til there are no more posts available. If you haven't done the online selection tests through exemption, you'd also have to do those. Not sure how many they are cutting, I didn't ask. They'll let us know after the Diplomatic Service has taken its pick of EFS people going for both roles - the last FSB is 12th April, so hopefully shortly after that. Good luck!

Disclaimer - as I said, some info is contradictory (e.g. somewhere it was mentioned that the online test scores would be taken into account), so the info above is just that which stems from the European team at the Cabinet Office, as I see them as more likely to be right than Parity.

I've sent off all my forms but my last reference only came in the day before so I don't know if that got sent to the mod before they made me an offer. My DAC check hasn't come through yet though so I don't think they need all of them.

I'd forgotten how distracting this waiting process was. Ended up keeping myself awake until well past 3am last night refreshing in the hope that it might update at some point past midnight, the end result being that I slept through all my alarms this morning and I was very late taking my eldest daughter into school for her last day of term...

I think I may be somewhat distracted today as well, constantly checking on my phone, refresh, refresh, refresh....

Good luck to everyone else who is waiting for a result, whether it be for just two days like myself, or several months. Our wait shall be over shortly, and for my part I really do hope that I've managed to improve suffuciently since my last FSAC to score over the pass mark, whatever it might be this year...

My Present Employment Reference is still only requested and I've been placed

From what that message on the home screen says, looks like they don't give parity scores until Friday afternoons/Monday mornings when each week of assessments has been collected. So I wouldn't have thought we'd hear this morning so I'm saving myself the torture. I've started just checking about 6pm on an evening. My refresh button is getting a little break!
