FAQ
No. Only vacancy approval (5,165 posts) dated 3 September 2026 exists on this briefing. Without a CEN there is no fee, no last date and no OTR-style railway form. Typing on 24 September is CEN 06/2025, not the new indent.
This site also has a typing skill-test practice paper for this exam family. It is a browser rehearsal, not the official hall software.
