Hey Jim
When did you submit your application if you don’t mind me asking? Trying to get an idea of where they are up to as currently I just receive the fortnightly updates that my application is still under review, Thanks.

I applied middle of July.

Cheers

Hi, I applied mid-July and received only a couple of updates before getting the NI email. It’s been just under 4 weeks since that, but from what I’ve seen on here that’s not an out of the ordinary waiting time. Everyone has been progressing differently even in similar TOCs or recruitment drives so I’ve just accepted it on an individual basis!

Hi,
I submitted my application on the 6th August for Crewe & Chester. I have been getting emails to say my application is still under review, the last one I received was a couple of weeks ago now.
Just interested to see if anyone else that applied to Crewe & Chester have had any further response?
Many thanks

Same boat mate. Lots have heard back internally saying they have failed a while back. I put my app in on first day of campaign and got the same update two weeks ago.

I’m another in the same boat, Applied mid August for Crewe and Chester, Just get the emails every now and then saying application still under review, The last one was almost 3 weeks ago, I know someone who applied and got rejected after only a few days so I reckon no news is good news but we will see.

I got an email nearly a month ago from TFW asking for my NI number. After i sent her it, she emailed back asking if I can make an assessment date. By the time I emailed her back (only 4 hours after), she told me all slots were full and will be looking to book more assessments over the next few weeks. That was the last I heard from them and that was about 4 weeks ago

I emailed them and they said it would be a few weeks last Tuesday. I am now hearing on here people have been told they have assessments they just do not know when they will be so I am guessing over the next couple of weeks they will be making final decisions. Best thing to do practice the tests under pressure if you can.

I know, very exciting!! I was 50/50, so came out with no idea really. I did walk away thinking “I wish I’d said this and that” though haha. We obviously did well enough :)

Hi all. Is anyone still waiting to hear the result of their application for Cardiff? The last contact I’ve had was from 25th September saying my application is still under review. I applied in July. Thanks.
