    I am in the same boat Mike. Pretty frustrating to be honest given that I qualified for the next stage well over a month ago. I emailed and they eventually replied to inform me that they were still arranging dates for assessments and they wanted to assure me that they would inform me of any...

    Cheers, Fred. Will get in touch. Unfortunate in your case, mate. At least they're keeping your details on file, though I suppose right now that's no comfort.

    A pat on the back for all those who have gotten through to stage 2. Applying for Manchester Piccadilly myself. So far found it ok but the phone interview was pretty intense - then again, haven't been down this road before so not knowing what to expect, really. Whatever happens, happens. Just...

    Afternoon. New here obviously. Thought I'd register to at least say thanks for the good advice on here as it came in really handy late last night when I was preparing for my phone interview with FTPE, which I had this morning. Pretty scary, the whole thing. But it all went by in a bit of a blur...
