I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at The Passport Office (Newport, Newport, Wales) in Oct 2017
Interview
After the initial online tests and sift process I was invited for panel interview.
Very friendly interviewers, that made you feel at ease. They fully explained how the interview was going to be conducted and how long it would be. They had my application form information, despite other people saying that this doesn't usually happen, but that was not a bad thing. They said I could use my own notes if I wanted to, but not to read from them. I got them out but didn't actually refer to them.

Question 1
They asked the same as the competencies that were in the online application process and clearly expected the STAR format responses but in a bit more detail than the form.
I applied through other source. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at The Passport Office (Peterborough, England)
Interview
This was a competency based interview which threw me really. These are very tough for someone who has no experience of these. You have to provide examples of when you have done something.

Question 1
Can you give me an example of when you worked in a team?
