No NEWT requirements. These will still be a recommendation, but poor scores/no scores will not disqualify anyone.

In place of NEWT requirements will be an entrance exam made of four parts:

• Personal/background info
• Written exam on magical knowledge and some theoretical scenarios
• Practical exam on magical ability
• Physical fitness test
• View the refreshed registration questionnaire here!

Performance on the entrance exam will determine interview eligibility. As per the current style, users will have the option of a traditional style RP interview and an IC questionnaire style interview.

What if my character has special circumstances that may impact performance on the entrance exam or their ability to complete it?

• These cases will be addressed as they arise. Currently, the only characters not eligible for employment in the Auror Office are squibs with no magical peculiar abilities, although exceptions could be made for non-field positions in which no magical ability is required.
• From an IC point of view, characters with peculiar abilities in place of standard wix magic will be tested on those separately as the need arises.

What about new characters who are already aurors?

• The current application process will stay the same. New characters who are already employed in the British Auror Office will still apply and fill out the registration form as though it is a performance review - so it should be filled out at the current point in their career.
• The process is the same for aurors transferring from other countries.
  • Aurors transferring from other countries have a three-month integration period to become familiar with the British Auror Office's policies and procedures.
  • If they have not completed training with the office they are transferring from, they will be placed into the appropriate phase to finish prior to becoming a full auror.

Phase One

• 4 months
• Intensive training in magical law, de-escalation, crisis intervention, interpersonal skills, and department/investigative procedures.
• This phase is most widely applicable to other departments in the ministry, which is why it comes first.

Phase Two

• 4 months
• Intensive hands-on and theoretical training in first aid, survival, combat, hostage situations, and group work.
• Applied skills training where they must combine what they have learned to complete an objective.
• This phase is the most magically and physically demanding.

Phase Three

• 4 months
• Trainees will shadow experienced aurors on run-of-the-mill cases and assist with the associated investigation/casework/day-to-day support.
• This is where they get a taste of the main divisions so they can make an informed choice.
• After training, new aurors can go directly into either PSI or MiST.
