Common questions
Where should I start?
Start with the stage directly in front of you. Choose Application if you are writing examples, Tests if an assessment is next, or Interviews if you are preparing for a panel.
Can I change stage later?
Yes. Your preparation can move from application evidence to assessments and interviews as your competition progresses.
Does this replace my candidate booklet?
No. Your official candidate booklet, invitation and publicjobs updates remain the final source for dates, stages and competition requirements.
How is my work kept private?
Your saved preparation stays in your PublicServicePathway account. Review the privacy notice for the exact controls and data-handling details.
