Civil Service Fast Track Apprenticeship Scheme 2015

Anyone else not been sent the feedback form? I applied to finance and was successful but still haven't heard anything from any department or been sent any other correspondence apart from a confirmation that they've received my response to the offer.

I'm in the same boat, but cyber security not finance.

It is just a questionnare to all those that applied askin about the difficulty on the application process so they can improve. It's not 'important' per say, have you checked your junk mail?

was talking more about the no contact since acceptance email :P

Still waiting on feedback on whether I got onto it!! Should I contact them? Does anyone have the email?

From the assessment centre correct? And if so same here, I just emailed them asking if I should presume I won't be getting an offer since I haven't heard anything since my assessment centre day on the 29th.

I just emailed asking for an update and all they said was they were dealing with final details and we'll be made aware soon.. They replied straight away too

Haven't heard a thing since AC in April. I'm not giving up just yet though!

Yeah I got the same, sounds like we should all know soon which is good.

The timeline for the recruitment procedure seems to be a lot longer this year, probably due to increased number of positions.
I applied to this scheme last year when it was specifically for age 18-21 year olds. By mid March I was invited to an assessment centre and on 2nd April I attended in London. On 30th April I was told I was shortlisted and that they could not make me an offer at that time however because I performed well at the assessment centre they were willing to keep me on a reserve list which remains valid till 30th Sept. I hadn't heard back from them, and that was the end of it.

I decided to pick myself up and reapply again this year as I had my heart set on such an exciting opportunity and alternative to uni. Once again I got through to the assessment centre in London on the 13th April. On 7th of May I received a text to say I had been successful and to check my email & application portal for correspondence. I had nothing in my emails but I did in my application account saying I had passed the AC. I than phoned capita since I didn't get emailed just incase it was a glitch or something. I really couldn't believe it. I spoke to a lovely lady named Kat, who sent the email out to me again. On 3rd June I received an email about all ID required and that I would find out location role and department in 10 days. The next day I was emailed that I got business administration, and that location and department would be disclosed on a later date. I accepted the offer but received no confirmation email.

Since then, I hadn't had any update till today. I received a letter along with many forms stating that I am assigned to Department of Energy and Climate Change in on of the London offices. I was quite surprised, since I pretty much based my whole interview speaking about the Ministry of Justice. I'm so passionate about the criminal justice system, which was one of the reasons I applied to the scheme. I also expressed my interest in the Cabinet Office as a secondary preference. I am a tad bit gutted as I'm not really that interested in this field and feel that I could be allocated more efficiently to my skills/experience and passion. All in all, I am still grateful for the opportunity. Not sure if it's possible to change departments but I'm going to have a look on last years thread to see if anyone bought it up. Fingers crossed it works out down the road.

Congratulations! Seen as it's the departments themselves who contact their new apprentices. Telling you by post, using paper, transported by cars and trucks seems like a lot of hypocrisy for the department for "climate change and energy" they could have helped their cause by going green and emailing you haha!
