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 .

Question 1
What topics would you avoid teaching students in your chosen country?
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at British Council
Interview
There was no interview to take, just a motivation statement that you had to fill out on the form when applying and a place to explain what teaching experience you have. Make sure to be truthful on the form as to where you want to live etc. There is a high chance that you will not get your first choice, but you will probably get your second. The trickiest thing is actually to get the DBS form completed in time as this took much longer than you would think to be processed.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at British Council (Londres, Inglaterra) in May 2016
Interview
It was laid out in a form of an assessment center.
British Council representative had emailed out a few days prior some scenarios, and asked to prepare a preliminary lesson plan.
The group task was to prepare a culturally engaging lesson plan.
The scenarios that were emailed varied a lot and helped a lot with the individual interview section, which was conducted by 2 employees.
