I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at British Council (Beijing, Beijing) in Jan 2015
Interview
30 minutes by Skype with 2 interviewers. Detailed application instructions were given beforehand that were matched to the BC core values to see if I qualified. At least one interviewer was an examiner trainer. The questions asked were fairly predictable.
