Has anyone heard back about their results yet? I wonder when First will start to inform people?

I'm hoping to hear by midweek, I'm sure the fella who ran our assessment centre said they are looking to hold the next assessment next week.

I wasn't successful. Massive kick in the teeth. Guess I'm stuck in dead end jobs for the rest of my life!

Well done to the rest of you.

Ditto mate, does anyone have the number the the testing operator? It was given to us by the examiner on the day to phone up to see if it an actual fail or just didn't meet FTPE's enhanced pass rate. Good luck people :)

To those who didn't pass....don't give up. Do what Hprice1099 is trying to do and contact the OPC. You may have passed the mandatory score and not the enhanced. There is still hope for you.

Try googling the OPC or give First group HR a call for the number. That's what we were advised to do to check at last assessment.

Good luck.

Nope I haven't heard back. As someone previously has said that the next stage of assessments is next week I am resigned to the fact that I haven't passed to be honest.

I thinking the worst my self mate, however I'm sure a few people on my assessment day had only been told a couple of days before which isn't convinient but let's not give up hope yet! I felt really confident that I had done well tbh aswell :/

To be honest the fella who ran our assessment centre said to give them a call after 5 days, but I think I will sit it out and wait for a response.

I thought that Matthew had said the next stage was 'within three weeks'?! Maybe I misheard, I don't know.

It could be like last time where some people weren't told until last minute, not ideal granted, but there's still hope.

Few of us in the same boat mate, in my assessment we were told they were looking to hold the next round this coming week, seems others have been told in the next 3 weeks.

If some are told at the last minute they've been successful then I think it is very unprofessional of the company to work like that. I'm sure they would not appreciate someone requesting a holiday with a couple of days notice or ringing in sick to attend the assessment. I know for a fact my company would not be happy.

I agree totally Graeme.h but lets be right if they phone no one will complain, we will all move heaven and earth to get to the 2nd assessment day and they know that.

Had a thought that if they are doing interviews at this stage and each lasts around 30mins and say 50 got through to the second stage which would mean 25 hours of interviews on top of the computerised tests then surely it will be held over a couple of weeks as obviously can only interview so many an assessment.. Is this possible or am just clutching at straws as I've not heard anything and still hopeful I could be successful haha
