Just had my stage 1 assessment and got a pass. For the bourdon test i completed 9-10 lines per page with no changes and i am confident i didnt miss any. I was managing 7-8 lines per page on the software with 2 omitted on average. The test was far easier on paper for me. Hope this helps...

Today i was invited to an assessment day. Has anyone else had an invite? I am now researching for all the training materials i can find. Any guidance really appreciated!!

Got the same email. Application on hold. Is this a nice way for them to tell us they don't want us?

I have also applied for a position at Colchester. Yesterday i was invited to an online assessment which i have now completed. Good luck everyone :)

No Charges for dogs or cats in Colchester with us, however we are at our own discretion, allowed to issue a child ticket for a dog or cat. Depends how polite you are when boarding i guess.

I'll get it sorted and PM you when i can. Cheers
