Online assessment centre (OAC) Border force officer

Original post by jay23890

Hi all,

I wanted to ask has anyone done the OAC for the border force role?
I have passed my assessments (games etc), then the written test. I am now awaiting to do the Live online strength based interview.

My question - is the interview pre-recorded? or will there be a live panel interviewing? Many people on here have mentioned that there are 16 questions and once each is completed, you click next? this seems like it's pre-recorded.

As the interview mentions live online assessment I was thinking a Panel will be conducting the interview?

Any advice will be good, Many Thanks

Have you had your interview yet? I have mine next week

Anyone heard anything yet? I had my interview a month ago and keep getting emails saying they are still reviewing my results. Someone on another post got offered a place the day after their interview apparently

I had my online assessment in Nov and now received an email advising that I have been successful and they will let me know about next stage. Not sure how long it will be or what is next stage as I assumed that online assessment was the last one. Any one who have the similar experience ??
