I applied online. I interviewed at Civil Service Fast Stream
Interview
Was asked a few questions about my interest in Project Delivery and my knowledge on the department. Was then asked to provide some examples of public projects that I knew about and quizzed on the inner-workings of project delivery with regards to execution and private sector collaboration.

Question 1
What drew you to the programme with regards to its structure?
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Civil Service Fast Stream (London, England) in Feb 2021
Interview
Online Assessments, Video Interview, Assessment Centre, Final Interview - Loads of different stages, waiting time in between is long but overall not too difficult of a process. Online assessments are mainly situational tests. Video Interview is based off the Civil Service behaviours. Assessment centre consists of a group exercise, a written exercise and a role play leadership exercise with an assessor. If you go over the guides they give and practice examples you'll do well. Final Interview was more talking about existing knowledge of project management and what government projects are going on etc.

Video Interview is all competency questions - talk about a time you've worked in a team, dealt with change etc.
I applied through university. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Civil Service Fast Stream (Newcastle, England) in Dec 2019
Interview
The process was very thorough and long. However, this made you want it even more. At the assessment centre they go out of their way to make you feel prepared before the day and provide you with an extensive prep pack.
