I was told medicals would happen in January, with a March / April start date. I wasn’t told there were people in front of me... From what I understand, there are 8 people per training group and if I’m not mistaken they still need about 2 groups for the Orpington depot.I too am waiting on 'that' call for a medical and start date. Was also told that the next possible course date would be in March/April. Had a conversation with my partner who stated that its common for companies not to give you a written conformation of an offer; as was the case with her when she joined the met 3 years ago. Having spent so much money administering the tests, the worst that i think could happen is that we would be put in a talent pool. I guess we will just have to sit tight and leave everything to time.
