I’m not sure that I picked up on there being a base camp ( though I know the centrally managed schemes have one)
We’re you definitely told there will be one an is it online or in person?


I wasn't sure either but then my department mentioned something getting our security clearance through on time for it in one of their emails. You'd think they'd do some sort of event for all the economists!
Did you have any idea when it was meant to start?

Just said October
Does anyone know how to apply to the fast stream relocation allowance?
No- I would just email them and ask.
Have you got a start date and a location yet?

I would assume so but there’s so little info on it that I’m not certain.
I still haven’t been given a start date or contract. At this point I am questioning if the the civil service fast stream is real or just a figment of my imagination.

Everyone should have started by now - when did you last hear from them?

Unfortunately a lot of ges fast streamers haven't heard anything about start date/ location/ contracts let alone actually starting

I see, that’s very annoying then - do you not have to do base camp?

My application is underway, I’ve filled all my personal details in and am now waiting for the tests to unlock.
I did the practice numerical test they linked and it was very straightforward which has eased my nerves.
Good luck to everyone applying

What qualifications did you show was it only your degree?

Hi Hayward, if you get the chance then you can pop into a bank for a physical copy, maybe that would be accepted if the only issue is the digital format?

Is this for security clearance or an actual assessment on your financial situation?
