I got the same too this afternoon, so I sent a mail back asking them if they had looked through my application and whether I had got through the first stage or whether they had yet to look at it. They mailed back and told me that I had got through, but was now on hold.

I've scheduled my interview. Didn't you get a choice to do that?

I received a email inviting me to the assessment day. I applied for the first time early December and the assessment dates are mid to late jan with a choice of dates.
they also sent me 4 pdf files with practice material and what to expect on the day:D

how long do passes last before expiring then?
Click to expand...

Two years as far as I know. And as my first application took so long, with my assessments spanning over a year! (Due to broken tests and whatnot) i'm already close to them expiring.. which feels unfair but what can I do..


Still no reply from GA. :(

Hi Spad, I see that you've managed to get through. I sat my assessment in Stratford last week and was the only one on the day that made it. Just wondering what your experience of the two interviews were, do they send you any prep material? Happy to hear from anyone else that did their assesements last week. Was told by Ricky, that the next course would prob be in July?

Hi All,

I passed the initial assessments in early July and was told to expected the next stage in approximately a month or longer. Has anyone heard anything yet?
