    Fingers crossed for everyone, hope things work out. I understand there is also another course in March so if the deadlines aren't quite there, the wait hopefully won't be too long. I am on the course in January so see some of you then.

    Northern Rail Medical

    It shouldn't do TBH you still have responsibilities and Northern will appreciate that. You could perhaps suggest some alternative dates and they will try to meet with one of them. The results are back usually within a week (due to the Drugs Screening) so plenty of time for the offer post this...
