You'll get told if you passed all the assessments up to the MMI, you'll then complete your MMI but won't be given a result on the MMI on the day.

I have inside contact, 6k applicants applied so its a very lengthy process on my first attempt it took 8 months for me to get a response and was given a weeks notice to attend. Advice is start getting prepared regardless

Good to know that no news is good news at the moment! I had the same with another TOC. I was told if I hadn’t received a response after 6 weeks I was unsuccessful, 6 weeks passed and I forgot about it. 6 months later I got a letter through the post asking me to attend in 4 days time. Joys of the railway lol.

Is anyone else still waiting for an initial answer from this? I still haven't had an invite to assessment or a no. I think their system lost my application....

 

[slidingdoors]

Yes I've still heard nothing either way either. Written it off now pretty much with poeple already doing assessments and what not.

[Rmh123]

Not meant to be. Hopefully something else comes up for you. Out of curiosity when did you apply? I did mine nearer the closing date so just wondering how far into the apps they are.

Hi guys, am new on here. I have my first assessment day at Swiss Cottage next Thursday. Can anyone tell me who has already been through the process what to expect exactly. What tests are done on the first assessment day and which ones are done on the second day. StevieBuk I believe you have been through the process. Any advice/info from you or anyone in the know would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
