Civil Service Fast Track Apprenticeship Scheme 2015

Hi everyone, I've just been asked to do an assessment for mindmill has anyone else been asked? Is this a good thing? X

It is a good thing. This is an additional test aimed at all IT / Cyber Security candidates, on top of STEM a-levels. These are a lot more specialised / harder for some positions than general ones like accounting, so I imagine that's why so many additional requirements like the test and higher a-levels. I have done it a month ago.

I have received conditional offer, and the email said in condition to meeting eligibility criteria as well as passing this mindmill test. It sounded like I was supposed to receive this test after getting accepted on conditional offer, but I received an email asking me to do this test a day before my assessment centre. It gave me around a week to do it. I did it after the assessment centre, on the deadline day it mentioned in the email, and next day I got text / email saying I was successful, on the condition of meeting eligibility criteria and this test.

So you were told you had been successful the day after you completed the mindmill test (the day after the deadline date)? Did they mention anything about the location or department you would be placed in?

I'm still waiting for the online test results so I'm taking it's bad news. Otherwise I don't see how they can do the assessment centres. Surely they know by now who's failed especially if the assessment centre has to be completed by the end of May/ beginning June like people are saying.

Have you attended an assessment centre yet?

Nope. I had an email saying that they would get back to me regarding my online test results within a couple of weeks. That was almost a month ago.

Did you check your online portal?

Yep

Oh
The wait is awful..
