I’m still waiting for mine, but I was told everything has been approved.

Thanks, I’m the same. I need to hand in my notice to my current employer in just under 3 weeks so hopefully will hear soon.

I would imagine you will receive it soon. Im sure my contract for starting next week came about 6/7 weeks before my start date.

Just had an email reply to my questions in April when we got put into the talent bank Not an auto reply but didn’t tell me much, has a generic pdf about what being in a talent bank means and didn’t actually answer my questions

Hello everyone,

Applied to Airdrie Talent bank back in Feb/March and passed the bourdon etc tests I have sat my face to face interview today.

Is anyone in the same boat?

Congratulations.

My brother in law is at the stage of first round of bourdon testing due in early dec.

Could you give some information on what the tests were?

Yeah I got the same reply yesterday to the questions I had in April too. Also never really answered my questions. Doesn’t exactly fill me with much confidence!

That’s annoying. Hopefully if they’re getting around to replying to people from that long ago they might be in the process of getting the courses sorted. Although, that’s probably just wishful thinking on my part
