Very similar to MMI scenario questions.

Tell us about a time you ….

Think there was about 10 questions in all.

Last approx 1hour

Also do your company research

Out of interest has anyone who has previously applied and had a blank status under "Current stage" ever hear anything back from the recruitment address or have progressed at all? After failing the Banbury Talent Pool DMI I applied in mid-April for the Bletchley role that opened as there was no communication about a waiting period, but in the same boat as others previously with a blank stage and no communication currently.

Prompted by it seeming like lmw3003 above has been contacted for this round.

Also applied for Bletchley depot but heard nothing. I've checked the portal tonight and it doesn't say anything next to current stage.

Is this normal?

Yes ,should hear in 7-10 days from Chiltern about the outcomes of MMI. Does chiltern or OPC provides the outcome of MMI by email or call,If by any chance I missed. Thank You in advance for your valuable feedback.

For me it was by email from OPC. They took around 3 days for me. Maybe email the OPC regarding your results. Normally Chiltern will then get back to you after that

When did you fail the Banbury DMI?

your next application would need to be 6 months from that date.
