Re: Frontex Border Guard
I’ve received the same answer, though more elaborate...”successful candidates will be notified at different times regarding the status of their applications, as the recruitment process takes place in stages. The screening of applications is still ongoing.”
Still they don’t mention anything about the ending date for sending these notifications...

Re: Frontex Border Guard
I have just received a reply from Frontex regarding the emails about english tests and when they expect the process to be concluded.
"Hi, please be patient. We will still be sending emails over the next couple of days. Regards"
Stay positive people. Your email has just not arrived yet!!!!

Re: Frontex Border Guard
I applied pretty late, so i'm still hoping.
A historic night for EU tonight, the European Parliament approved the Brexit agreement.
Really sad to see the UK go (people tend to forget what Britain meant for Europe and really the world in the last couple hundred years), but the future Frontex Border Guards will have a huge role in strengthening the EU security and make sure that no other country will have reasons to think that it's better of outside the union.
Cheers to that!

Re: Frontex Border Guard
I think that this answer sent by Frontex today is helpful for all of us, so do not bother them anymore with the same questions, while de screening process is ongoing, I'm gonna put their answer here :
"... Please be informed that the English test is an online one and therefore you will be able to take it regardless of your current location. However, please find the necessary technical requirements for the test below: You will need a computer or smart device (tablet or phone) connected to the Internet with:
– functional front-facing camera
– headphones (for the Listening exam)
– microphone (for the Speaking exam)
The test is taken through the web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge), No special software installation is needed, you will be only asked to allow the access to your device microphone and camera.
Before the test starts, you will be able to check your technical capabilities.
With regards to the physical aptitude tests, please note that they will take place in Warsaw. Candidates who succeed in these tests will be invited for an interview which will take place the day after the physical aptitude tests.
Please note that as applications are currently being screened, shortlisted candidates will not receive the invitations for the English test and the subsequent procedures (if successful in the English test) at the same time. Please also be informed that invitations for the English test (and the for the subsequent physical aptitude tests and interviews) may be sent out until as late as mid-March..."

Re: Frontex Border Guard
I would say that the physical tests are not easy in my opinion if you do not train on a regular basis. I achieved pretty much everything within the limits but I have some training background so wasn’t that hard. Not sure what sort of technique they expect us to maintain while doing press ups and sit ups. If you got a feet support for sit ups that’s fair enough but if not that’s gonna be a bit difficult. The same with press ups. The proper ones should be with your bum and back kept in a line plus you should be facing forward not down. But the same there is not much details of standards they want us to keep. What you reckon guys???

Re: Frontex Border Guard
I am totally into you mate! The physical tests are quite difficult for non trained people. Since there is no information about the way the sit ups and push ups will be done, I expect the common case scenario. Sit ups with a feet support and push ups with someone else's elbow below so that you touch him each time you bend. That's what happens to every military academy. Hope that helps!
