Fast Stream Assessment Centre Guide

Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. There is no strict dress code, but most candidates choose smart-casual clothing.

We run FSAC sessions daily. The assessment centres run from November until February. We will confirm your specific start and end times in your invitation.

If you have agreed on a reasonable adjustment for extra time, you may be asked to start your FSAC at an earlier start time. The reasonable adjustment lead will contact you directly to confirm your start time.

1. Find your link: use the virtual meeting room link provided in your briefing email. The room will be locked until the event starts.
2. Join early: Log in promptly so that you’re ready to start on time – if you join late, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to take part.
3. Registration: When the event starts, you’ll be in a virtual meeting room with your test administrator and other candidates. Please ensure your camera and microphone are on so we can complete the registration process.

We may conduct ID spot checks throughout the assessment day.

To help your day run smoothly, we advise that you:

• use a quiet, private room with minimal distractions and access to a charger or power source
• check your internet connection is stable, and make adjustments if it’s not, like unplugging other devices or sitting nearer your router
• turn your laptop on early to check that your camera and microphone are working
• use the latest version of your browser – we recommend Google Chrome
• keep your mobile phone close by incase we need to contact you
• have some paper, pens and a calculator within reach for making notes
