Really thorough and enjoyable. Felt like I had the opportunity to put my best foot forward. Not competitive and instead really inclusive.
All the assessors really cared and I felt really supported throughout the day and run up.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Teach First (London, England) in Dec 2014
