Thanks, and good luck to you as well.
Yes, it's good that some of the old messages are saved in this forum because I didn't remember this one-week due time. But I remember that these candidates who took the test in February received immediate contracts and had a place in the next batch. Unfortunately, many candidates took the PA 6 months prior as it was agreed and are still waiting in the reserve list or limbo. It is something which I consider wrong, but the recruitment is what it is, with some passports the doors open much more effortless.

Where can I find that reserve list??? It isn't a lot of time to start training in half of January.
All the best.

Reserve lists aren't public. The only way to know is if you have some friend working in Frontex HR. At the moment, Basic and Intermediate reserve lists are empty. The Advanced candidate's reserve list is the only one where are candidates, and unfortunately, it looks that they need to wait for the most because of a shortage of Advanced positions. Also, one reason why HR keeps some candidates in limbo is that when you are placed on the reserve list, then starts the two-year waiting time to run. After two years, all the candidates who haven't received a contract are released from the reserve list.

As far as I know there are some candidates who received mails last Friday that they passed all stages and were invited for online psychological assessment. I don’t know if there will be further invitations this week 🤷🏻♂️

Nope, nothing at all about the progress.
It seems that Frontex has already decided to give some applicants the contracts for the next batch, even though the candidates have not participated in all stages.

I think there is enough on here about the fitness test. Basically you have no business going there if you haven't specifically trained for it. Use YouTube , read the advice on here and read the notice and instructions. The instructors are helpful but you need to be prepared.
It appears that in recent weeks , alot have been called for medicals and fitness tests and that's ongoing . With a start date in January I imagine they might have to send out offers soon too. I've been through the process now from start to finish , happy to offer any help but I would suggest anyone with a question please first read all the brilliant info that is already up here.

Hi Samson82! Thank you for your messages and shared information.
I also agree that going to the PA test without training wastes everyone's time. Even though some candidates 'passed' the PA in the first call, even they were not supposed to. It was embarrassing to witness and wrong against the candidates who had trained and passed the PA without help.
About your tests in Warsaw Samson82, did you have the medical examination before your PA?
