Seems like it if that’s where they’re academy centre is.. I’ve fallen lucky with it being on my doorstep then

Oh well thank the gods for that one then, because I could not have gone into that one blind. I might've been able to get through on luck but the stars would definitely have needed to align for that to happen.

Anyone who got the email today, was the invite from Avanti or from the OPC?

Everytime my phone pops up with an email notification I'm disappointed it's not from the OPC

I wonder in what order they are getting sent out. Alphabetical, pass mark, etc.

I’m thinking it’s when they can get you booked in for a test as there doesn’t seem to be a load getting successful or failed at the same time. Alphabetical, maybe, I’d be S or I
Exactly! have you managed to find any practice material other than the document they’ve sent for the tests we need to do?

I don't think anybody has confirmed they've had an unsuccessful email at this point. I dislike the 'limbo' part! Id rather know either way. Although I'm pretty sure I've failed, until I get the rejection email/letter, then there's a slim chance of success.

Just to clarify guys, talent bank means you wont immediately secure the job even if you are succesful on all psychometric test right?
My understanding is once you get through all the tests they place you on a talent bank till they have availability on a training program which is when you would actually start. Though I could be wrong!

So it may well take years… hmmm. I have been invited for opc to do CBI only as I have previously sat all other test. And I already have offer to start with another freight company in january. I am in dilemma here. Can anyone suggest whether I should go for the CBI or not?

im not sure if its a risk because if you fail the cbi it overwrites your mmi but given that youve already been job offered I dont know if you would be terminated. which foc?

If I were you I think I'd be taking the role in January tbh mate. Tough decision though.
You have a job offer? I'd be taking that for some certainty
