I applied online. I interviewed at British Council in Mar 2020
Interview
This interview was done online, a question just came up on the screen and then I had a minute to answer each one. I think it lasted about 15 minutes. Most of the questions were quite predictable and similar to the online application, with just one unexpected question which was what would I do in the event of a tsunami on my placement.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at British Council in Feb 2020
Interview
Written application incl. motivational statement and relevant experience which was fairly straight-forward and then self-recorded video interview with prompted questions. For the interview, you have around 1 minute to prepare your answer for a provided question before it automatically switches to recording your response. It feels a little impersonal if you're not used to video interviews, but it was a good experience in general and for future interviews .
