Only ARL can answer that one really. Have you heard from them directly since passing the OPC?Hi everyone, have done stage 2 on 1st August and found out last week that I passed, still awaiting a DMI date- do you all think I might get a DMI for before the 26th Sept for Nov course? or just have to wait until vacancies available again?

And were you told by the OPC that your application was for a course starting September, so you need to be able to commit to these dates etc?noo not yet, i’ve emailed them though. just anxious since i did pass everything but think i was always in the last sort of dates for the group that the OPC ran and don’t want it to affect my chances but will

I got a phone call to invite me two days after my stage two. Done the DMI a week after and got told I passed a week after the interview. Two courses coming up on November 26th and 5th January. You should certainly be in the running for one of them.yess told those exact things with each email they sent so still hoping for an interview soon

hi all does anyone know if we get an email invitation to the DMI? or do they call to invite?
thank you so much for letting me know! will be waiting for the phone call now. had a no caller id call at 9pm last night which i missed due to being at work, hoping it wasn’t ARL since it’s outside of the 9-5 hours hopefullyI got a phone call to invite me two days after my stage two.

also, had you already found out from the OPC that you passed stage two in two days? or was it the DMI invitation phone call that confirmed it for you? just wondering as OPC took 10 days to get back to me to let me know they were now handing my application to ARLI got a phone call to invite me two days after my stage two.

I got an email from the apprentice people to log in etc... but I haven't been able to get past the next of kin stage. Keeps telling me the number I'm putting in for my Mrs isnt valid. I emailed them but have had no response yetAnyone starting on 1st of September have to verify their qualifications for maths and English to join the apprenticeship as well?
I put the phone number with 1 digit less, which allowed me to move on, the form for the number has the error but you can amend later.I got an email from the apprentice people to log in etc... but I haven't been able to get past the next of kin stage.

Have you done the uniform order form?How do we find out if we passed the reference check and does anyone know what is checked in the reference check? I’ve just passed my medical and I got an email regarding the start date and where to go. All I’m waiting for now is the reference check validation as it’s a bit worrying to start knowing you can get terminated if it doesn’t come back satisfactory.
Yes sirHave you done the uniform order form?
Did you have any problem with the excel form, I couldn’t save or edit itYes sir
I used Microsoft 365 via Google on a computer and uploaded the file there as excel is free there. Then after that all you have to do is edit and then download it and send it back to them. Don’t forget your shoe size in your email reply.Did you have any problem with the excel form, I couldn’t save or edit it
Okay thanks, did you sign up to the apprenticeship and manage to get except from maths and English?I used Microsoft 365 via Google on a computer and uploaded the file there as excel is free there.

I gave them my GCSEs. Do you know anything about the references?Okay thanks, did you sign up to the apprenticeship and manage to get except from maths and English?
Did you find out you pass your medical in the same day? I still haven’t had mineAh okay cheers for that. If you need anymore help don’t be afraid to ask. And don’t forget your shoe size it’s seperate
What is deemed as not satisfactory? Surely HMRC proof should be fine.I gave them my GCSEs. Do you know anything about the references?
Yes you do providing you don’t take drugs as that is sent to the labs and you won’t find out the result same day.Did you find out you pass your medical in the same day? I still haven’t had mine
I thought they do an in depth check? Or is it just to check proof of previous employment?What is deemed as not satisfactory? Surely HMRC proof should be fine.
I thought it was for proof of employment and a basic DBS check.Yes you do providing you don’t take drugs as that is sent to the labs and you won’t find out the result same day.
It consists of the following:
Vision test
Hearing test
Blood pressure
EKG test
A couple questions about your health
Urine test for drugs and glucose in urine.
Breathalyser for alcohol.
You’ll know if you passed same day but just remember the drug test is sent to lab so you won’t find that out same day. But hey as long as you don’t take any you’ll be fine haha.

I’ve got no idea to be honest. Never had to do this before lmao.I thought it was for proof of employment and a basic DBS check.
Ah fairs. That seems alright then. I thought they did an in depth reference.Referencing background check is fine, they just check your last 3 years of work history if you can prove that or any gaps you can give reason for. DBS check is fine, I got my certificate posted so I know that’s clear.
