I was on hold for about 3 weeks whilst they awaited more course dates. I start on the 28th of this month. You may get on the January course? It's all about being patient and just reminding HR every now and then.

Mine started at 9am and finished at about 2:30pm. Paper tests in the am and computer tests followed by mmi after lunch.

My mate had is train taken off him by a trainee and instructor yesterday at Blackpool. Needless to say he was more than happy to accommodate as he spent the rest of his shift watching TV haha!

Finally got the call today from HR. My medical is on Tuesday next week in York and my course date is Nov 28th. Needless to say that I'm a tad excited hehe!
After the initial interview I seem to be 3-4 weeks behind everyone else, so fingers crossed for it. As it stands I'm ' an on hold candidate'

I stayed in a hotel and still didn't get much sleep due to my room being over the sodding beer garden lol. I was also nervous as hell which didn't help much.

Got a response this morning after the assessments last week. Confirmed I'd passed everything which I knew but also been told I'm on 'hold'. Could be in this position for weeks/months now.
I applied end of May for Blackpool then they moved me to Blackburn. Interview on the 4th August and assessments on the 31st August. Getting the feeling that I'm going to end up missing the boat and sat in the talent pool for months/years.
I was told I passed the assessments and mmi on the day. I don't get why I'm having to wait again to find out about the medical and course date. Most other people seem to have found out the day after their assessments.
