What have you guys been doing whilst sat in the talent pool, jobs wise? I'm due to leave the forces in the next 12 months and i really want this job but i get the feeling it can be a bit of a roulette? do they recruit from the talent pool in order of first in first out or do they then...

From what i understood of that recent update, the test results will be extended to 5yrs and they are looking to start running stage 2 sometime soon, in smaller qtys, from somewhere in Watford. Am i reading this right?

hi there, what did Stage 2 consist of please? Different TOCs do it differently.

Was that with EMR? Does your TOC keep you regularly updated on your chance of employment or what the future for the pool holds? Once in the pool, do they then work down a list for selecting people or do you then have to compete against everyone else in the talent pool? What was involved in Stage...

same for me. Does that mean that the stages after that will happen in fairly quick succession or is this going to drag out past Christmas? Fortunately I can remain in my current job until June 21 but would rather push on with this but I will still need to look at alternatives, just in case!!

I have3 forms of i.d but they would allow me to use a photo of my payslip as proof of my N.I number. Annnnnnd so I had to leave and drive all the way home. I...

when did you sit your stage 1?

What was your error on trp1?

That makes perfect sense.

Hi all, I have stage 1 on Tuesday and so far I have been practicing both the GBT and SCAAT on paper and on the pc. GBT on paper I am completing 7 lines with 3 errors total. SCAAT tests im completing 11 lines with virtually no errors. Letters and symbols aren't an issue, its the dots. Is it...

Hi all, I recieved an email thanking me for applying and saying that I have been shortlisted. What tests will be in the stage one assessment please so I can start preparing?
