Civil Service Fast Stream 2024 - Applicants thread

Is there no interview for the AC? Only a leadership/group/written scenario?

Leadership is like interview. Role play exercise

Ah ok, so none of the usual competency type questions based on your own experience? You're just judged based on the behaviors in this scenario?

I've got mine soon but struggling to find a way to prepare for it. Is there anything specificly we can look at? Other than the guide for FSAC itself?

Surely they won’t publish Assessment Centre results before all of them are completed? Mine isn’t until February

They carry on until March but in my assessment centre I was told I’d hear back by end of December or January think it depends on when they figure out a baseline score

I have seen some people receive results but am unsure what schemes. I too was told by the end of December. In the 3rd week now since my AC, and hope i find out this week before christmas. From what ive heard is if you did terrible then there is no reason for them to make you wait, and likewise if you did exceptional more likely to hear sooner. If you did perhaps well but not amazing, then it takes them longer to get a larger sample for the pass mark. Add in all the complications of the different schemes and additional question stuff - who knows basically.

I don’t believe any results are out yet. If that were to be true we would had some in the form confirming it.

I've seen a few people either receive offers or progress to the FSB depending on their scheme. It's always been this way based on previous years forums; the highest and lowest scorers hear first based on initial pass marks then final pass marks are set depending on how people perform and how many people they can take onto each scheme. What I wish they'd do is at least release our scores then let us know if we've passed once boundaries are set.

This year it’s different. It’s funny when information is given like depending on the scheme. Name one scheme that had received an offer or FSB so far.
If you have not heard so far this year it doesn’t mean you are in middle range. It’s simple they have not released the results yet.

Mean while good luck everyone.

tbf some people have said they have been told. obviously i only have their word for it, but dont see why they would make it up

Hope everyone is doing well while waiting...but how earth do people deal with the wait?! I had my AC yesterday and can't get it out of my head when I'm probably not gonna hear back for weeks... 🥲

Honestly I've somewhat checked out and focusing on other applications in the meantime. It's the only way for me to not constantly refresh the portal. 🥲

Ah I see that's a good way - unfortunately for me, this is the only role I applied for 😨😂
Best of luck and hope we get some news soon!!

found out this morning. Had mine a week ago. Randomly came through 😂.
