I am currently undertaking my masters which I would complete in 2019 due to some exceptional circumstances. I was thinking of applying to both the fast stream and the SDIP. I’m aware applications open around September/October. How would I get notified? Any tips will be greatly appreciated!!!

I'm hoping to apply for the fast stream or SDIP for next year. I know the process opens sometime in August September. Does anyone know the exact date and what are you guys doing to prepare for the tests?

I'm in a similar situation though my masters starts in september. There isn't a lot of information out there when the next fast stream applications open.

According to the Civil Service website the opening is 20th September. They are operating an email sign up where they contact you early so you can start as soon as they open. What schemes are you interested in applying for?

I'm heading from 6 years in the education sector. How is everybody preparing for the situation judgement tests?

Completed the online tests, now the wait begins. Applied last year and got a place but declined for something else, so applying again. They took a couple of months to publish test results last time.

Just did my video interview! There was 8 questions, competency based mostly, so prepare for that if you can! I tried to summarise my work, study and persoanl life experience in my head as preparation so I could draw on them for examples, and think that worked quite well.
