I applied online. I interviewed at Free Representation Unit (London, England) in May 2023
Interview
No interview but you'd have to secure a training day, attend the training day, pass the test before being able to take on your first case. The difficulty is getting your first case because most cases are not open for first timers.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Free Representation Unit in Sep 2020
Interview
No formal interview process. However, there is an initial briefing seminar about the different volunteer roles available. You then have to pass an in-house examination to be considered to take on your first case.
Interview questions [1]

I applied online. I interviewed at Free Representation Unit in Dec 2019
Interview
You pay £50 for either the social security course or the employment course. When you know the time the places will be release hover and keep refreshing the page. The spaces get filled up so quickly. Once you do the course, make sure you stick around for information on the test. Ask for as much details as possible and make a lot of notes on the advice given on how best to answer the test question.
