Fast Stream Assessment Centre Guide

What happens after FSAC?

You will receive a report on your performance, regardless of whether you are successful or not. This will contain feedback on how you did in each exercise. You will be able to view your report from the Fast Stream homepage as soon as it becomes available after FSAC.

Please note: Make sure you save or screenshot your feedback report for your personal records as this information will be removed at the end of May 2026. You will not be able to request it after this date, as the information will no longer be available.
