When I went for my assessments last week I’m sure I heard the woman say to someone “there won’t be anymore assessments until at least a month or so” or something along those lines, so perhaps they are still going through applications and will email more people with the next dates.

I know they get thousands of applications, but that's just rude really.
Did they tell you you hadn't made the paper sift when you chased them up?

Just to let you guys who are still waiting know...... i was worried i hadnt passed the initial application so i contacted arriva yesterday for feedback and they informed me that as stated on thier website it could take 2 weeks to 4 months for feedback and they will let me know the outcome when they review my application so there is still hope for everyone waiting and at this stage roughly only another 2 months max wait for feedback although it might be sooner. Good luck everyone

Ah right, a few people have said that.

Thanks mate, best of luck in your journey too.

I applied in early March and still haven't heard anything. :'(

Just wait three months until they advertise again, then you'll get a Thanks but No Thanks email for your current application. That's the way it goes.

We know what we are now, but not what we may become.

Nice, suppose they can do it any way now as I did my first assessment after you and got a reply before you. Keep hope all.

Trump what date is your second?

Absolutely. No rhyme or reason. I guess we all just have to be patient and hopefully get good news.
Beg of June OneLowban. Is yours in May?

Cheers.

That's a poor show really isn't it. I applied for this one on the 06/03 and nothing heard yet. Hoping we all hear soon. Would be nice to know either way if successful or not!

tempted to email them but don't want to come across as being pushy
Yeah I know what you mean. I've emailed once already and know of others who have. It seems we all get the same response referring us to what the advert said (2 weeks to 4 months)

Frustrating isn't it!!
