Did you apply for Crewe as well? I applied for Bletchley and am waiting.

No, just Bletchley.
You might be able to schedule a date when you're back, contact West Mids and see what they say

Thanks for the reply. It seems some of us are out of luck this time. All the best to you and anyone else who's got it!

Email came through at 14:30 to say I have passed the additional SJT questions, I previously passed my psychometrics in 2021 for ARL:

Email came through in the afternoon. Notification of having passed the tests, assessment dates pending. I know we're not there yet, but it's a great Christmas present.
Thank you too for the kind words, dc96. And thank you to everyone who has contributed and shared information.

Just received a email from the opc I confirmed my attendance on Friday saying there’s no spaces left and I will be placed on a waiting list until a date is available
I replied saying I couldn’t make it and just got offered the same waiting list. Was gutted but I am outside of the country sadly
Hi everyone. I believe some had the stage 1 at Crewe today. How did everyone find it. One of the tests, DFFT, thought that was my weakest test. Got to about question 9. Wondered how everyone felt/did with the DFFT in particular. Best of luck to everyone, now is the waiting game

Me too (I had mine today). Felt that the other tests went well, but I’m worried about that one!
What question did you get to?

10 I think
Heard a lot about people passing around 7, even 6. All for accuracy I believe. Just hoping I was accurate enough as I know I had to go back a couple times. Fingers crossed

That’s good to know - good luck

I attended the Stage 1 in Crewe on the 7th January. This morning I got the good news I passed and have been invited to stage 2 in Watford on 22nd January. This includes the MMI so this may be a possible date?
Moving very quickly!
Out of interest, does anyone know where the training centre is for the initial 9-12 months? Depot would be Bletchley.

Got my opc results, from 7th Jan in Crewe.
I unfortunately failed. I will work harder and practice more until I can apply again next year.
Good luck to everyone who made it to stage 2.

For Bletchley there is an initial short period at the Academy in Birmingham for Company induction, from then the training normally takes place at Northampton with elements also carried out at Bletchley itself.

Congrats on the pass. That seems odd you did stage 1 in Crewe when you’ll be in Bletchley. I did all mine in Watford.
All the best for the rest of the tests

Thanks for that mate, appreciated!

It was rather inconvenient but it was in a hotel so managed to stay over the night before. From what I gathered, everyone else there had applied for Bletchley also. We all travelled up from similar locations and most stayed the night prior.
suppose I will have to wait another year
