We recognise that application to the Fast Stream is demanding and so the initial stages of the application process contain self-assessment and practice tests to help you decide whether you would like to proceed further. These tests are on the secure part of the site and we believe will work using any browser that supports Adobe Flash version 7 or above, including AppleMacs.
If you would like to pursue a Fast Stream career, please click here or select APPLY/LOG-IN from the lefthand menu.
Should you narrowly miss being selected for the Fast Stream, you may be recommended for other posts in the Civil Service.
Good luck.

Should you have a disability that restricts your ability to take the online tests, please contact our helpdesk at faststream@parity.net or telephone 01276 400333 (8am - 6pm Mon - Fri, excluding Bank Hols) to discuss the options.
If you don't have your own internet access, this is available at public libraries and at university careers centres.
Teach First is an independent charity founded to encourage top graduates who would not normally enter teaching to teach for at least two years in challenging secondary schools in London, the North West or the Midlands.
The Civil Service Fast Stream has formal links with Teach First, and we are always happy for successful Fast Stream candidates to defer entry into the Civil Service in order to spend time teaching with this charity.
If you have not already considered this possibility, we encourage you to visit the Teach First website (www.teachfirst.org.uk).
If you apply to the Graduate Fast Stream you will have the opportunity to express an interest in Teach First. If you do and your application is successful, Teach First will contact you about deferring entry into the Graduate Fast Stream in order to teach.
