    Has anyone on here been given a start date? The advert originally said the recruitment was for a March intake but there are rumblings that may be full. My last letter mentioned a talent pool if successful. I hope not.....

    Well, all done. I'm pretty certain I've cocked up the GB test and the other bits seemed that easy - I must've buggered them up too! Fingers crossed anyway. At least if the worst happens- I'll know what to expect next time. Best wishes.

    Well the postman a bit been yet - but I'll temper my expectations. Good luck! As for your tests, I'm assuming they are centrally logged so you may not have to take them again? Always worth enquiring anyway. Best wishes.

    Good news! When did you find out , if you don't mind me asking? I haven't heard a peep so I guess it's a no for me. Good luck.
