This masterclass has Rosie Buckley (D's early careers manager). It covers ACs so might have what you need.

Also when did you complete your VI?

Thank you so much!! I completed my VI last Wednesday 8 April

Anyone still not heard from PHB post AC?

Me nothing as well

Thought that it’s a pfo from Kingsley napley as people already got invites earlier in the day - I just got the invite a minute ago so anyone waiting, don’t lose hope!

Edit - the test isn’t automatic right?

 

[radssss]

Has anyone heard back from Foot Antsey?

I have a vac scheme with them in June and they said that acs for dtc will be in June so I guess it’ll take a bit longer to hear back from them!

Do you think the GLD scheme prefers career changers / previous paralegals over undergraduates. I am going to apply but I want to manage my expectations.

I received a TC offer from them last year as an undergraduate so not necessary as long as you have experiences to discuss in STAR situations and can evidence why you want to be in the Civil Service law specifically!
