I'm in the group that applied for Manchester in Feb 2023 and I've not heard anything from the OPC since last October. I can't access my application now as it seems Avanti have a new careers website. Have any of you been able to do this? I was assuming I'd be able to reuse the application if any further rounds came up, but at this point that seems like wishful thinking. :lol:

Not sure Manchester are a huge priority, not sure if anyone has made it on to the training course yet and I applied in October 2022. Someone may be able to correct me on that

Any Polmadie candidates on here awaiting a DMI following the email of the 5th October? Those "upcoming weeks" have turned into months!

I’m waiting on my DMI still but I only done the CBI etc last month, a bit later than you. Still not heard anything though.

Any Wolves applicants who are in the talent pool, receive a phone call yet or any email? Last email I had was in October stating they will get in touch over the next few weeks with offers for January and March, and it’s been nearly 2 months since. I heard some people from other areas had a phone call already about their start dates. Not sure if I’m just the person who didn’t get one :lol: or are wolves applicants yet to be called.

A little birdie at the depot told me looking for 9 trainees next year. DMI probably in next couple of months (not weeks!). Not sure exactly how many are at the same stage as we are. Fingers crossed

The communication is really poor.

Yes hopefully we hear something soon then. No idea how many waiting either as its been strange how its all been handled. There was only 2 other people there the same day as me, I know they passed the assessments but don’t know how their CBI’s went.

Yeah, it is a big relief. As you say, a positive that courses are still being offered out. I'm sure your call will come soon pal.
