I know they are very busy on boarding trainees at the moment. There is an August group, October group (which I am on) and Cara mentioned the November group to me too the other day when she was explaining how busy they were with new groups.Cara offered me a place on the November course (Trainee).

Thanks. What was the outcome of the RPS discussions? There were suggestions of new starters needing to complete 3 years before entry to the RPS schemeTook me just shy of a year, but depends on availability of instructors etc

Looks like it.. i had to turn down Southampton with an august start date as we have a newborn early September., so pleased I didn’t have to wait that long!The October group is being trained in Birmingham, I know that there are at least 4 other people along with me that are going to Eastleigh IM in that group. @djack123son looks like you will be joining us just a month later if you are in the November group?

I’ve just booked in my right to work check and have given availability for the medical.Good news on all the start dates
Just wondering, people getting the calls....have you already had the medical and reference checks, or is that next?
Thanks. I was just wondering at what stage you hand in your notice.I’ve just booked in my right to work check and have given availability for the medical.
I have had my medical, completed my right to work and sent by my signed contract and still haven't handed in my notice as I want to leave it as long as I can. FL HR advised me that 6 weeks prior to start date was enough time for them as long as the important parts such as the DBS check, medical etc was done, references could be the last thing they did.Thanks. I was just wondering at what stage you hand in your notice.
I start in two weeks. My training is in Birmingham and I will be based at Eastleigh too. HR advised that a hire car will be provided to get me to and from the training. The car being delivered to my house each Sunday and being picked up from here too.164 pages is a lot of browsing., anyone that’s recently started/been through the process., can you briefly explain accommodation and travel the the training please?
Training in Tilbury, Home Depot is Eastleigh.
